Edge Early Learning Hallett Cove - Vennachar Dr is unwavering in our commitment to ensuring that our centre provides a secure and nurturing environment where your child’s wellbeing is always our top priority.

• Our dedicated team prioritises safeguarding children through daily practices, educational programs, and adherence to national child safety principles.
• Our Kindy children enjoy Life Ed's Harold's Little Learners program, which builds confidence, resilience, and healthy habits in fun, age-appropriate ways, including body boundaries and safety, and big emotions. It’s all part of giving your child the best start to school.
• Our supervisory and senior staff complete regular Child Protection and Mandatory Reporting training.
• We proudly work with Life Ed, Bravehearts and other similar child safety advocate organisations to strengthen the personal safety education within our programming.
• Our S.A.F.E. framework (Spot, Act, Fix, Explain) requires staff to speak up if they see or suspect something isn’t right. With S.A.F.E. in place, we have created a culture of accountability where reporting is expected and encouraged.
• Our Active Supervision policy ensures all team members understand the importance of Plan, Position, Look & Listen.
  

Edge Early Learning's Teach A Rainbow education program underpins learning in our nursery, toddler, and preschool learning spaces. It has been designed to ensure children are confident and empowered to learn when they start school, giving equal focus to:

• Cognitive,
• Physical, and
• Social and emotional development including self-help skills and building resilience
  

At Edge Hallett Cove, our early childhood teacher and educators personalise the program to your child’s individual learning goals across 11 Key Learning Areas, aligning with the national Early Years curriculum.
