At Colonel Light Gardens World of Learning, we provide early childhood education for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years from 6:30am to 6:30 pm. Our centre is proudly rated Exceeding in the National Quality Standards in six out of the seven quality areas by the Australian Children’s Education & Care Quality Authority (ACECQA).

Our dedicated team of highly qualified and passionate early childhood teachers and educators are committed to ensuring every child feels safe, nurtured, and inspired throughout their early years' education journey. We believe in open communication with parents and provide daily updates and photos detailing their child's learning and development, accessible through our family app.

Colonel Light Gardens World of Learning is designed to be a home away from home, encouraging every child's exploration. Our resource-rich early learning environments have been carefully designed to immerse your child in a world of exploration, curiosity, and learning. Each learning space extends onto our beautiful outdoor environment, which offers endless opportunities for play. With large spaces, sandpits, and vegetable gardens, children can safely develop their strength, balance, and self-confidence through play.

Play is essential to every child's learning and development, and our experienced team plans play-based learning activities in line with national standards. The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) engages in your child’s interests and allows them to experience each day in a new way, supporting their learning in preparation for primary school.

Our Early Learning Curriculum also provides children with a variety of enriching experiences, including:

- Music and movement activities to develop coordination and rhythm

- Art and craft projects to encourage creativity and self-expression

- Language and literacy activities to foster communication and language skills

- Science experiments and sensory play to promote curiosity and exploration

- Outdoor play and physical activities to enhance gross motor skills and physical development

We understand the importance of healthy eating, and our centre provides children with nutrient-rich, fresh, and seasonal foods. Our menu rotates every four weeks, and our cook caters to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe in actively involving children in food preparation, including growing and harvesting fruits and vegetables, to help them appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.

At Colonel Light Gardens World of Learning, we strive to create an enjoyable and enriching early childhood education and care experience for every child. From engaging individual and group play in our nursery rooms to fostering curiosity and problem-solving skills in our toddler rooms, and preparing children for a smooth transition to school in our kindergarten program, every day is a different adventure for your child.
