About the Business

Welcome to Durack Childcare Centre | Journey Early Learning! Located at Packard Avenue, 29 in Durack, Australia, our warm and homely early learning centre is designed to inspire adventure and joy in your little explorer. As an establishment and point of interest, we prioritize play-based learning and provide a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow.
At Durack Childcare Centre, we believe that learning should be fun. That's why our education approach focuses on opening our little adventurers' minds to a variety of different activities and connecting them with the wider community. From visits to the nearby lake to learn about water awareness and nature-based learning, to swimming lessons, family picnics, library visits, Fitness Fridays, and language lessons, we offer a range of experiences to engage and educate our children. Yoga is also a favorite among our little ones, not only for its fun and playful nature but also for the trust it builds between our children and educators.
Transitioning to school is a major focus for us, and we work hard to ensure a smooth process. By providing a safe and secure environment, we help our children develop confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self for the journey ahead. Our Kindergarten classrooms are intentionally designed to align with the Journey Standards and the Early Years Learning Framework and Curriculum, ensuring that every child is prepared for school. Our Government Approved Funded 3 and 4-Year-Old Kindergarten Classrooms are run by ACCEQA approved Early Childhood Teachers and Qualified Educators, providing ongoing support through our School Readiness Program.
Did you know that your child can attend Journey Early Learning from 6 weeks to their first day of school? We understand that navigating government entitlements can be confusing, which is why we've designed a helpful Child Care Subsidy calculator to assist you. If you need further assistance, our team is here to chat and answer any questions you may have.
But don't just take our word for it! Here's what some of our parents have to say about their experience at Journey Early Learning Durack:
"My daughter's first week at Journey has been really good. The educators are very welcoming. They keep me posted daily with photos of my daughter learning new skills and also her real-time routine."
"Thomas loves his daycare and talks about it all the time; he has grown massively in confidence since starting and is really starting to enjoy socializing (and chatting non-stop) with his educators and peers."
I'm Chantelle, the Centre Manager at Journey Early Learning Durack. With my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and 7 years of experience in the sector, I am passionate about providing children with the opportunity and space to learn and develop their own individual personalities. Our team at Durack strives to give children choices, respect their voice, and support their learning and development.
In addition to our comprehensive curriculum, we offer a range of activities and programs, including swimming lessons, Fitness Fridays, library visits, mindfulness and yoga, a language program, cultural introduction with Eddie, and Little Lambs Playgroup. We believe that nature-based play is the greatest teacher, and it is a core part of our curriculum. Through outdoor play, children learn vital life skills such as confidence, independence, exploration, cooperation, and respect for the environment.
Join us at Durack Childcare Centre | Journey Early Learning and give your child the opportunity to embark on a journey of exploration, growth, and joy. RSVP now to secure your spot at our upcoming Preschool event and come along for a fun-filled day that you'll never forget!
Reviews
"My daughter first week at Journey has been really good. The educators are very welcoming. They keep me posted daily with photos of my daughter learning new skills and also her real-time routine."
"We have been using Journey Early Learning Durack for several years now and they have been absolutely amazing. Management is professional yet friendly and approachable, helping us with flexibility where possible. The staff in the rooms are great, offering plenty of activities and taking an active role in each child's personal development. We have stayed with this child care centre despite moving rural because of how happy we are with the team and facilities."
"My grandson sadly left Journey Early Learning Centre last week. He's been there since he was 5 months old and he is now 2. Thanks to you all for guiding him through every day. The effort you all put in is reflected through him. Such a lovely, friendly, welcoming and modern centre where the educators truly have their hearts in their roles. I truly believe that they are such amazing people and so important in the early years of our children's lives. Keep giving the outstanding care, guidance and support to all the children that you connect with."
"Journey at Durack is the most family orientated centre I have ever been to. My grandson attends in the Nursery room and he loves it. He has come ahead in leaps and bounds under the guidance of the Nursery team, they are loving and always have the childrens happiness and well being at the centre of all they do, I could not recommend them enough. The staff genuinely care and take pride in their roles, it is evident that their positions are their passion and vocation, not just a "job". Thank you for all you do everyday and your commitment to holding our little ones hands as they grow with Journey."
"Our daughter Isabelle has been attending Journey since February 2019 and absolutely loves it. It only took a few weeks for her to settle in and feel comfortable in her home away from home. Her educators are fantastic and you can tell that they genuinely care for the kids in their room. We feel comfortable leaving our daughter there knowing she is well cared for and learning loads. The educators allow the babies to explore their environments and get messy, which we love. The centre manager is friendly, approachable and was very helpful with our many questions when we started the search for a centre. Choosing child care is a hard decision for any parent to make - we're glad we chose Journey - Alicia and Chris."
