Welcome to Canning Bridge ELC
Canning Bridge Early Learning Centre is a private not for profit childcare centre that provides education and care for 53 children between the ages of 0 and 6. The Centre is designed to provide a warm and loving environment that supports parents and promotes child development in a caring, educational and intuitive manner, helping to prepare children for their future schooling
An extension of your home and family
We are a small cosy centre, where you will find quality relationships being formed between parents, guardians, children and educators. We have an open-door policy that encourages parents and guardians to visit and participate in their child’s education and care experience.
One of the foundations of our curriculum is that children should be encouraged to explore their world and the world around them and to learn who they are and what they can be. Our goal is to foster children’s competence in dealing with life, teaching them to live comfortably with others, learning to master and safely express their feelings, and welcome new experiences. Children should be loved unconditionally and their trust treasured so that they will benefit to their full potential under our care.
Cultural and Linguistical Diversity
Cultural diversity amongst staff and activities is valued at Canning Bridge ELC. This diversity is evident through our staff and our wide array of cultural activities. This diversity combined with the loving and caring nature of the centre allows children to develop a strong sense of community.
At Canning Bridge ELC we encourage a love of self, others, play, and learning. We believe that through this, children will develop a strong sense of self-worth, resilience, community as well as developing the foundations for responsible citizenship.
