QUICK LINKS
Education
Our educational program is built upon the principles of emergent curriculum and aligned with the nationally recognised Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). We believe that children are active participants in their own learning journey and our curriculum reflects this by valuing their interests, strengths and individuality.
Through observation and collaboration with children, educators create learning experiences that emerge organically from the children’s interests and enquiries.
These experiences are designed to support the development of key learning outcomes outlined in the EYLF, including a strong sense of identity, connections with others and the world around them, a deep respect for diversity and a lifelong love of learning.
By embracing emergent curriculum and the EYLF, our dedicated team of educators ensure that every child receives an educational experience that is both meaningful and engaging, laying the foundation for future success in school and beyond.

At Best Start Early Learning Centre we hold an unwavering commitment to the health and safety of every child entrusted to our care. With an unyielding dedication to excellence, our practices, policies and procedures adhere to the legislative requirements set out in the National Quality Framework.
We maintain a stringent focus on health and safety practices, implementing rigorous cleaning protocols, regular risk assessments and thorough staff training in emergency procedures.
Our dedication to compliance extends to every aspect of our operations and through ongoing evaluation and improvement, we strive to create an environment where children can flourish in an atmosphere of security and trust.
Your child’s wellbeing is our foremost priority and we are committed to upholding the highest standards of health, safety and care.

Additionally, we provide access to experts in child development through early intervention assessment programs, ensuring each child is given the opportunity and support they need to reach their full potential.
Food & Nutrition
At Best Start Early Learning Centre we understand the vital role that nutrition plays in children’s growth and development. We are committed to offering a menu filled with wholesome, nutritious foods that nourish both body and mind.
Our focus on healthy eating goes beyond just serving balanced meals; it’s about instilling lifelong habits that promote overall wellbeing. We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible and our menus are carefully crafted to provide the essential nutrients growing bodies need.
Through hands-on experiences like gardening activities and cooking classes, we inspire children to explore the world of healthy foods, fostering a positive relationship with nutrition from an early age.
With our dedication to promoting healthy eating habits, we aim to empower children to make informed food choices that will benefit them for a lifetime.

We believe in the power of community and the invaluable support it provides in shaping children’s lives. Best Start Early Learning Centre is family run and deeply rooted in the local community, serving as more than just a place of care but as a hub for connection and collaboration.
We actively engage with local organisations, businesses, and individuals to create enriching experiences for our children.
From inviting community members for special storytelling sessions to organising social service initiatives, we foster a sense of belonging and civic responsibility in our young learners.
Through these meaningful interactions, children develop a strong sense of community pride and empathy, laying the foundation for positive relationships and social awareness. We strive to create a nurturing environment where every child feels valued, supported and empowered to make a difference.
Sustainability
At Best Start Early Learning Centre we are dedicated to instilling a sense of environmental stewardship in the children we nurture. Our centre is committed to sustainable practices that minimise our ecological footprint and inspire a love for the planet.
From incorporating recycled materials into our arts and crafts projects to teaching about renewable energy sources, we provide hands-on learning experiences that foster environmental awareness. Through nature exploration, gardening activities and discussions about conservation, we empower children to become advocates for the environment.
Our focus on sustainability extends beyond the classroom, as we actively engage in initiatives such as recycling programs, water conservation measures and working with tools to monitor and help reduce our energy consumption.
By cultivating a deep appreciation for the natural world and teaching the importance of sustainable living, we equip children with the knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on the environment for generations to come.
