Welcome to Sentia Early Learning

Welcome to Sentia Early Learning!

Sentia Early Learning is a one of a kind child care centre on Flinders Street in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. With an incredible rooftop playground that was designed by the children, little ones can enjoy views over the Yarra River as well as the city’s train line.

The team is committed to building strong relationships with the children and families, and their high staff retention is a key indicator of happy educators at the centre. Sentia Early Learning has an atmosphere of safety and joy, crafted to inspire children, build their confidence and take their first steps toward a lifelong love of learning.

This family-owned centre is open from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm and cares for children from 3 months to school age. Parents can enjoy free parking to make drop off and pick up times more convenient.

About the curriculum

3 months +

The program for the babies respects and follows each child's own routine from home. The educators provide a safe and secure environment that allows for each child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. The children's interests help shape the intentional and spontaneous teaching aspect to the program. The babies enjoy both calm and stimulating environments, with plenty of rest, gentle play and safe exploration.

Programs

Morning

Alexandra is ten months old and loves going on excursions in the pram with her nursery friends. Today they’re heading to the local park to see what birds they can spot in the trees.

Lunch

Alexandra is playing with some soft blocks on the mat before she heads off for a nap in the sleeping area. Her educator reads her some books before preparing her for a rest.

Afternoon

Alexandra loves music, and today the educators have set out lots of small musical instruments for the children to explore.
