About Forestville Early Learning Centre
We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Forestville, Frenchs Forest, Killarney Heights and Belrose in Sydney.
We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.
Our Learning Environments
Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:
- Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
- Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.
- Preschool (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.
We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.
Innovative Early Learning Programs
Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:
- Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
- Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
- Personalised learning plans for each child.
- Local school connections.
We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

Maria and the team have provided a top-notch environment for our children to thrive - we have a 2yo there at the moment, a preschooler who attended for a school holiday, and when our youngest turns 1 she’ll attend the ELC. Forestville ELC is a smaller centre with a family vibe, where the educators have for the most part been at the centre for many years and seem to be happy in their roles. Special shout outs to Jen, Debbie, Sam, Nancy, Holly, Alyce, Elyssa, Vy and Belinda who are incredible carers and are genuinely invested in the kids’ growth and development. They always have time for friendly feedback for us on drop-off and pick-up. We have been provided with schedule changes at short notice, good vacation programs and the team puts extra effort into family days (recently Easter tea). Highly recommended!

Our daughter has been at Forestville ELC for the past year. We are so grateful that we came across this centre. Maria and her amazing team have been beyond amazing in caring for our daughter. We will miss you all incredibly! Thank you is just not enough!

My 2yo daughter attended FELC in 2024, and our family couldn’t be more grateful to the wonderful team here for helping my sensitive girl adjust to her first daycare. The kids are always happy and laughing, and you will always find the educators engaged/playing with them! The educators are all top notch and genuinely caring. Maria, the Director, is also so kind and understanding - she goes above and beyond for the families. The outside area is great, different pockets of space for different types of play (they have a great sandpit). I’m sad we’ve had to move daycare centres due to relocation but I’d have no problem sending her back if we ever returned. Thank you FELC!
