About CatholicCare Early Learning Centre - Shellharbour
Welcome to CatholicCare Early Learning Centre!
Catering to children aged 2 to 5 years old, CatholicCare Early Learning Centre is part of a not-for-profit that is well established in the Illawarra community. Working in partnership with families, the centre provides quality, child-centred care to build the foundations of learning that children will carry with them for life. The focus is on holistic development, including the children’s personal, social, physical, spiritual and emotional wellbeing as well as academic learning.
The brand new facilities are state-of-the-art, which creates the optimal environment for learning and play. The open-plan mixed age group setting allows the children to learn and play at their own pace while also developing their social and emotional skills.
The indoor environment is light and bright, overlooking the outdoor play yard. This area has a large sandpit, play boat, climbing equipment, mud kitchen and more. With room to run, play and explore, there is also a large shaded area for all-weather play.
Located in the grounds of All Saint's Catholic Parish, the centre is next door to Nazareth Catholic Primary School. Just a block away from Stockland Shellharbour, the centre is easily accessible and has a large car park on site for safe pick up and drop off.

My daughter has been attending CatholicCare ELC for the past two years, and I truly cannot recommend this centre highly enough. She absolutely loves it—especially after coming from a previous daycare experience that fell short of our expectations. Since joining CatholicCare ELC, she has flourished in every way, and continues to thrive each day. That growth is a true reflection of the incredible educators and the nurturing environment they provide. The staff are genuinely caring, supportive, and dedicated to every child’s well-being. I highly recommend this wonderful centre to any family seeking quality care and education.

The best daycare! Between my two boys and moving, we have experienced a few child care centres and I can highly recommend Shellharbour ELC. The director, Sara is amazing, helpful and kind. All of the educators are warm and knowledgeable. I cannot speak highly enough of this centre!
