Parkside Community Child Care & Early Learning Centre

Welcome to Parkside Community Childcare & ELC
We’d love to welcome your family to Parkside – a second home where your child can play, explore and thrive.

Who We Are
As a not-for-profit centre, our focus is on giving every child the best start through high-quality care and education that nurtures curiosity, individuality and a love of learning.

Our Environment
Step inside and you’ll feel the warmth and family spirit that sets us apart. Our three purpose-built rooms – Baby, Toddler and Kindy – open onto a spacious outdoor area designed for nature play and exploration. Children love helping out in our veggie garden, herb patch and worm farm!

Our Educators
We’re proud to have a dedicated team of long-standing educators – many with 5–10 years at the centre. Their strong connections with children and families help create a true sense of belonging and community.

Learning Through Play
We follow a play-based approach that supports each child’s learning in a way that’s fun, meaningful and guided by their interests.

Wholesome Food, Happy Kids
Our in-house chef prepares fresh, nutritious meals daily – including morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack. We cater to a range of dietary needs and include produce from our own garden where possible. Educators are trained in safe food handling to ensure mealtimes are healthy and safe.

At Parkside, we’re all about community, connection and creating a space where children feel safe, supported and inspired to grow.
