COLUMBUS EARLY LEARNING CENTRE 58 Denistone Road, Eastwood, New South Wales 2114

Welcome to Columbus Early Learning Centre, located at 58 Denistone Road, Eastwood, Australia. Our centre is more than just an establishment or a point of interest; it is a place where each chapter in life becomes a new frontier for our youngest learners. We are dedicated to creating a sense of wonder and meeting the developmental needs of all our children.

At Columbus, we take great joy in providing environments that allow your little explorer to make new discoveries at every turn. Our focus is on optimizing their learning opportunities while they play. We encourage investigation, problem-solving, independence, confidence, and most importantly, we help build resilience in our little ones. We believe that these lifelong learning and interpersonal skills are the foundation for success.

Our early childhood educators offer exceptional care in a warm and nurturing environment. We understand the importance of tailoring learning programs to assist each individual child in reaching their full potential and expanding their learning abilities. Building strong child-staff-family relationships is a crucial part of preparing your child to step out into the world with confidence and the skills they need for a promising start in life.

We understand the concern and importance of leaving your child in someone else's trust and care. At Columbus, we believe that every child has the right to feel safe, secure, and supported. With our highly qualified educators and our new, secure, and purpose-built premises, your child will feel like they are in a home away from home. We provide parents with invaluable peace of mind, knowing that their child is being looked after by us as if they were our own.

The wellbeing, health, and development of your child are our top priority. Guided by the nationally approved Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), our qualified and experienced staff develop programs tailored to each child's individual needs and interests. These programs enhance and progress each critical developmental area, supporting holistic growth. We adopt a play-based educational style with a strong emphasis on literacy development and school readiness, preparing each child for success in an ever-changing world.

We understand that learning and development for babies and very young children is a rapid and exciting process. Every moment counts, and we provide the love and interactions that babies need to establish a strong sense of safety, recognition, and curiosity - the springboard to healthy communication and learning.

For toddlers, these formative years are crucial for developing their sense of identity and personal power. Our activities encourage independence, invoke new skills and strengths, and provide meaningful experiences through interest-led play.

The preschool year is fundamental in preparing your child for the transition to the more formal learning environment of 'big school.' Our customised rich learning programs ensure that children play their way to success, readying them for their formal education journey ahead.

Children's learning is ongoing, and each child progresses towards outcomes in different and equally meaningful ways. We understand that as parents, it can be challenging to know what your child should be learning and whether they are reaching developmental milestones. At Columbus, we recognize that parents have different ideas and expectations, and we value each child's unique way of learning and applying themselves. Our practices are based on the latest evidence-based research, and our dedicated team of educators specialize in understanding and identifying age-appropriate developmental milestones.

In addition, we take fun very seriously at Columbus. We believe that children learn best when they are engaged, excited, and enjoying themselves.

At Columbus Early Learning Centre, we are committed to providing the perfect environment for children to thrive. With our dedicated team of staff, state-of-the-art facilities, and a focus on individualized care, we invite you to join our free waitlist and embark on this exciting educational journey with us.
