Manglesii Early Learning Centre - Cannington

Manglesi Early Learning Centre has a qualified team of early learning professionals who strive to deliver outstanding care and education for every child.

The team builds open and respectful relationships with children and families, to provide tailored care and learning that fits the needs of every child.

The centre provides team members with ongoing support and professional development opportunities to ensure every team member is equipped with the skills and knowledge to provide the very best care and early learning.

Manglessi Early Learning Centre proudly builds quality connections with centre families and the wider community. 

To strengthen family relationships, the team invites parents to share information on children’s interests, cultural background and home life. Parents are welcome to speak with educators during drop off and pick up, or to make an appointment for a longer discussion.

Family involvement in the curriculum is encouraged and supported, and regular discussions with parents gives educators valuable insight for the educational program.

The centre welcomes families to special events and celebrations. It also keeps families up to date with children’s activities and centre events. 

The centre has developed a holistic curriculum in line with two frameworks: The Early Years Learning Framework and the WA Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines.

These frameworks are designed to support children in their early years of development with a holistic, play-based learning curriculum. Educators deliver programs that cater to the developmental needs and interests of every child. The flexible curriculum provides for children’s social, physical, emotional and intellectual potential, including language skills and creativity.

The curriculum supports the active participation of children. Experiences are presented in ways that children can make choices and use different processes to complete tasks where more than one solution is possible. A secure and comfortable  environment also supports children to be as independent as possible.

The centre follows a UK based program called ‘Letters and sounds’ as well as a handwriting program by Peggy Lego called ‘I do, I understand’. These are programs used by schools in the local area to support a smooth transition to kindergarten.
