Home / About Us

Welcome to the Cambridge Early Learning Centre!

Cambridge Early Learning Centre is a community early childhood centre catering for children from birth until school age.

If you are looking for the ideal early childhood centre for your child - we are proud to offer: The Castle provides an environment which is welcoming, warm and friendly for children from young infancy until 3 1/2 years of age. Experienced teachers who are nurturing and supportive work within our dedicated nursery room (for 0-2 years) as well as our older children's unit (for 2 -3 1/2 years).

Recently created was The Pagoda: in August 2006.

The provision of a stimulating, adaptable, child initiated learning environment is the focus of the program at the Pagoda. 'Teachers notice children's interests and capitalize on the teachable moments' (2007 ERO review).

What makes us unique?

  • The teachers are highly skilled and use a range of teaching strategies to engage children in learning
  • The teachers are consistent and dependable and acknowledge the importance of building robust and meaningful relationships with the children. This allows for interactions to be focused and responsive.
  • The learning environments both; indoors and outdoors are designed for the children to be active learners.
  • Teachers support and encourage the development of the following dispositions in the children: courage, curiosity, trust, playfulness, perseverance, confidence and responsibility.
