Asquith Early Learning Centre

Our Centre

Asquith Early Learning Centre (AELC) is a custom built childcare facility for children aged 0 to 6 years.

The Centre provides structured programs for children in three age groups:

• babies aged 0 to 2 years
• toddlers aged 2 to 3 years
• pre-schoolers aged 4 to 6 years.

AELC opened in 2015 to meet the needs of young children and their families. It has two age-speciifc outdoor play areas, separate age rooms, an onsite kitchen with daily food provided by Kids Gourmet Food, specialised baby room, a laundry service and disability access to the premises including an internal lift.

Our Philosophy

At Asquith Early Learning Centre, we believe that every child is special and unique.

Our educators believe that all children have the right to be treated equally and with respect, regardless of culture, lifestyle, language, ability or gender.

We value the reciprocal relationships that we build with children, families and staff and we strive to make AELC a Centre that provides a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment.

We believe families play the most important role in their child’s early learning and development and strongly value and respect the insight and tradition that each family brings. We seek to involve families in the centre’s decision making.  

Children learn through their play interests and meaningful interaction with others. Under the guiding principles of the Early Years Learning Framework, educators use an ongoing planning cycle to assess and document children’s learning and to provide a holistic program based on each child’s current interests, strengths, needs and experiences.

We value our high quality team who provide the best care for our children. The centre management encourage staff to continuously update their skills and build on their professional knowledge.

We respect the Indigenous custodians of this area and connect with local community by acknowledging and incorporating the resources available.
