West Leederville School of Early Learning Centre overview

Welcome to West Leederville School of Early Learning

We are a Western Australian owned and run business, established in 1974 by Bernadette Giambazi, who received an AM in 2000 for her services to the Australian Early Childhood sector.

Bernadette’s daughters, Louise, Sarah and Genevieve continue their mother’s passion, commitment and excellence as hands on Directors of Schools of Early Learning.

Our Early Learning Programmes are developed based on observations of the children. Staff document the children’s learning, combining anecdotes, photographs, videos and audio to gain a picture of individual children and their interactions and relationships. Collaborative aims, focused on children’s interests are identified, building on the skills and knowledge already acquired, how the interests may be expressed and the skills necessary.

Literacy and numeracy are natural consequences of this inquiry based approach to learning. Through research, investigation, exploration, planning, designing and hypothesising, children read, experiment, imagine and create. The children’s discoveries and the meaning they make of them are recorded in drawings, photographs, writing, measuring, spatial organisation, graphs and numbers. Exploring collaboratively, children develop skills in working with others, communicating, making choices and sharing knowledge.

The School of Early Learning purposefully includes large specific Studio spaces and dedicated Studio Educators, whose role is outside of the day to day care of the children, to facilitate individual exploration, learning, experimentation and growth of self-expression by children, through their interactions with the visual arts.

We are committed to employing and retaining the best Educators in the profession, with all of our employees having a minimum Certificate III level of qualification. All staff are encouraged to actively complete qualifications through our own high level Registered Training Organisation, Early Years Education Training (EYE Training). The standard of training delivered by EYE Training, and therefore the skill and commitment level required by students is rigorous, with the resulting graduates producing a very high quality of employee.

We pride ourselves on our understanding of the needs of our community and providing the highest quality education and care to our children and their families.

Contact us to make an appointment to see it in action for yourself.
