About Cardinia Lakes Early Learning Centre Pakenham
Welcome to Cardinia Lakes Early Learning centre!
Located in the heart of the Cardinia Lakes community, our service offers high quality education and care to children 6 weeks to school age. We offer an exceptional 3 and 4 year old kindergarten program 5 days per week, led by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher. Children attend the kindergarten program for 5 hours each day and are able to access extended care hours before and after each session within the Early Learning Centre.
Our passionate team of educators ensures Cardinia Lakes ELC is a warm and inclusive learning environment in which every child feels welcome, valued and supported to reach their full potential. Our educators guide childrenās learning through a play-based learning curriculum which is developed based on childrenās individual needs, strengths and interests, in line with the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards.
Indoor learning spaces are purposefully designed to stimulate curiosity and excitement for learning, offering a wide variety of age-appropriate resources for play and learning. Outside children are offered plenty of shade and different areas for quiet, gentle play as well as larger open spaces for big, energetic play. Imaginations run wild on our climbing equipment, up in the cubby house, while riding around on bikes or digging in the veggie patch. Both indoor and outdoor learning spaces continually evolve to reflect childrenās changing interests and developmental needs.
Our service is conveniently located near the local shopping precinct, Pakenham Primary School and Hollins Childrenās Centre, with on-site parking available for easy pick-ups and drop-offs. We welcome families to contact us for more information. Please book a tour to visit and experience our centre for yourself!
