About the Business
Welcome to Forestville Early Learning Centre, a premier establishment located at 2 Violet Avenue in Forestville, Australia. As a point of interest and school, we are dedicated to inspiring learning for life in children of all ages.
Nestled in the heart of Forestville, our centre is ideally situated for families living or commuting through Forestville and nearby suburbs such as Frenchs Forest, Killarney Heights, and Belrose. When you step into our homely child care centre, you will instantly feel a sense of sanctuary, where children are encouraged to explore and grow.
Our spacious outdoor areas provide the perfect environment for children to engage with nature. Complete with sandpits, slides, and a bike track, our outdoor spaces offer endless opportunities for play and discovery. We even have a vegetable garden, which allows children to connect with their environment and embrace the outdoors. Here, they can learn about gardening and sustainability while developing strength, balance, and self-confidence.
At Forestville Early Learning Centre, we understand the importance of providing a well-rounded educational experience. That's why we have our beloved pet guinea pigs, Fred and George, who regularly visit the different rooms and even go home with the children for the weekend. This unique opportunity allows children to learn about responsibility and care.
Inside our centre, children are met with engaging spaces designed to foster exploration and discovery. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences tailored to each child's interests and goals. Through purposeful play, children become architects, storytellers, scientists, artists, and designers, all while developing important literacy and numeracy skills.
We believe that mealtimes are more than just nourishment; they are opportunities for connection and learning. Our in-house cook prepares healthy meals daily, catering to all dietary requirements, including halal. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships and provide opportunities to model healthy eating practices. Additionally, children are encouraged to assist in selecting edible plants from our vegetable garden, which are used in many of our meals.
No two days are the same at Forestville Early Learning Centre. We offer a schedule of alternating specialized programs, including music, yoga, sports, and Mandarin classes, to enhance our daily program. Swimming lessons are also available at an additional fee.
Throughout the year, our educators and children venture out on excursions to our local community, visiting the library, park, bush walks, and even the café for morning tea. We also regularly host educational children's shows and welcome special guests, such as speech therapists and eye specialists, to expand on the children's learning.
Our commitment to sustainability is a core aspect of our program. Through our vegetable garden, children learn about sustainability practices as they harvest food, weed, water, and nurture the environment. Additionally, our worm farm instills a sense of environmental belonging within the children.

Reviews
"We have been sending our kids to Forestville ELC for the past 3.5 years and have been very happy. The Gumnuts room is so warm and nurturing, with Ayaka and Jen taking such good care of the little ones. Our youngest is absolutely thriving, and while once was distraught to be left, now waltzes in happily and asks for his toast. A big thank you to the rest of the staff, including Sam, Mitch and Debbie, who always make us feel welcome and genuinely care about the kids and families. Highly recommend."
"I'm gonna write a long review, because let's be honest, I absolutely love this centre! 10/10 for the care of our children, 10/10 for the friendliness of the staff and 10/10 for the facilities. They are currently going through a shift in management and Sam is currently filling in. She has made some changes already and they are awesome - I highly commend her efforts. The whole team does such a great job with the kids. My son is nearly three and has been attending the centre for just over a year. He loves all of his teachers - particularly Miss Holly, Miss Alyce and Mr Mitch - so a special shout out to them for caring for my wild boy. I cannot recommend this centre enough. I get regular and timely updates from the staff (on their centre app) letting me know when (and what) my son has eaten, his toileting, sleep, as well as photo updates from throughout the day. He was already an active child, but attending this centre has really helped bring out a new confidence - and this is no doubt a reflection of the teaching and support from the staff. If you are even having an inkling about whether to send your child here, I dare you to take the leap! Totally worth it."
"The team at FELC are awesome! We have both our kids enrolled and they are doing a great job teaching them so many things that we could not do at home, arts and crafts, imaginative play and they provide nutritious food for the little ones too. The educators are just that. Not babysitters but teaching and inspiring the kids to learn and grow! I would recommend this daycare to anyone in the area that needs the service.."
"I cannot say a bad word about Forestville ELC. My little boy has been attending since he was 13 months (now about to turn 2). He has a sensitive temperament and the staff have been incredible nurturing him as he develops. The centre is small and turnover extremely low - it gives me a lot of peace of mind as a working parent. Highly recommend!"
"Very great quality of care by all the staff for both my daughter and son. A strong pre-school program and we are very happy with the support from Forestville ELC to get the children school ready. The staff are friendly and I feel they are very familiar with children on an individual level despite only going twice a week. I am impressed and recommend Forestville Early Learning Centre. The long hours available are also a big bonus for those that need."
