EARLY LEARNING CENTRE - WOODLEA Our Early Learning Centre opened in 2017 with approximately 45 families enrolled enabling 30 children to attend each day. During our first year we offered programs for 2-3 year olds, 3-4 year olds and an integrated Kindergarten program to 4-5 year olds. Since our inaugural year we have grown to now enrolling 100 children, offering a program for children aged 3-4 years and two integrated kindergarten programs for 4-5 year children Our biggest accomplishment for educators and management was our achievement in our Assessment and Rating visit in March 2018. The centre was awarded an Exceeding rating; the highest rating a centre can be awarded. This reflects the quality of our educators, our program and our service.
