About Thriving Darlings Early Learning Academy

Welcome to Thriving Darlings ELA!
At Thriving Darlings ELA, we are proud to offer a nurturing, boutique early learning environment where every child is valued and supported on their individual journey. Our small 23-place centre is designed to create a calm, homely atmosphere where children feel safe, confident, and inspired to learn.

We have two dedicated rooms tailored to meet the developmental needs of each age group:

  • Early Learners Room: Catering to 9 children per day, this space supports little ones aged 18 months to 3 years. It's a warm, engaging environment where curiosity is encouraged and relationships are gently nurtured.
  • Preschool Room: Designed for children aged 3 years and over, this room accommodates up to 14 children each day. With a strong focus on school readiness, exploration, and creative expression, our preschoolers thrive in a supportive and enriching setting.

Our daily fee is all-inclusive, meaning there are no hidden extras for the essentials your child needs. We provide:

  • Nappies
  • Wipes
  • Sunscreen
  • All bedding
  • 3 nutritious meals per day – morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea – freshly prepared to support growing bodies and curious minds.

At Thriving Darlings, we believe in the power of connection, play-based learning, and respectful relationships with children and their families. We can’t wait to welcome you into our community!
