Welcome to Thornbury World of Learning, a premier early learning and long day care centre nestled in the heart of Thornbury, Australia. Located on Wilmoth Street, our centre is conveniently situated for families living or commuting through Thornbury, Northcote, and Preston.

At Thornbury World of Learning, we believe in creating a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. As soon as you step into our centre, you will be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages children to discover their passions and develop essential skills.

Our spacious outdoor areas provide endless opportunities for children to engage in active play and connect with nature. From a sandpit to a vegetable garden and exciting play equipment, our outdoor spaces are designed to promote physical development, balance, and self-confidence. Children are encouraged to push their boundaries, test their limits, and unleash their creativity.

Our centre comprises three buildings located in a quiet street, in close proximity to local primary schools. Our dedicated team at Thornbury World of Learning is passionate about creating a safe and secure environment where children feel a strong sense of belonging. Many of our team members have been with us since our establishment in 2009, fostering long-lasting relationships with families in the local community.

Inside our centre, children are provided with engaging resources and learning experiences that foster exploration and discovery. Through purposeful play spaces, children can unleash their imagination, experiment with materials, and bring their ideas to life. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences tailored to each child's interests and goals, incorporating literacy and numeracy concepts seamlessly.

Nutrition is a priority at Thornbury World of Learning, and our in-house cook prepares nutritious meals daily, catering to all dietary requirements. Shared mealtimes between children and educators not only strengthen relationships but also provide opportunities to model healthy eating practices. Children are encouraged to assist in selecting edible plants from our vegetable garden, enhancing their understanding of where food comes from.

We offer a range of specialized programs, including sports and a Spanish-based language music and movement program, to develop fundamental skills. These programs are regularly available to your child and complement our daily program.

Community engagement is an integral part of our curriculum. Our educators and children explore the local community, visiting nearby schools and aged care facilities. We also host educational children's shows and welcome special guests such as dentists and audiologists to expand children's learning experiences. These connections foster a sense of belonging and enable children to develop social and observational skills.

Thornbury World of Learning is committed to sustainability education. Through our sustainability program, children learn about their responsibility towards the environment and develop a strong connection to the world around them. Our vegetable garden provides hands-on experiences in harvesting food, weeding, watering, and nurturing the environment.
