At Edge Marsden, we are passionate about enabling children to learn, grow and develop at their own level and in their own way. We aim to be respectful of the natural environment and improve learning outcomes as we educate children about the world around them. We have a strong belief in cultural and community connection and believe that incorporating these beliefs into children’s learning will provide a better future for everyone. 

The team and I are dedicated to building lasting connections with our families through excellent communication and an open door policy. We welcome you to join us for a tour centre, and look forward to collaborating with you to ensure we achieve the best outcomes for your child.

Edge Early Learning Marsden 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 is personalised to your child’s individual learning goals across 11 Key Learning Areas, aligning with the national Early Years curriculum. Designed to prepare children for a confident transition to school, the program supports cognitive, physical, and social-emotional development including self-help skills and building resilience.

Our Kindergarten children enjoy Life Ed’s Healthy Harold’s Little Learners program year-round—we’re proud to be the only early learning provider to offer this exclusive experience to enhance our Teach A Rainbow education program.
