Meet the team
Integricare Early Learning Centre Rockdale Plaza understands that children’s early years are crucial in their long-term development and assisting families through these years can be life-changing.

Centre philosophy
Centre philosophy
At Integricare Early Learning Centre Rockdale Plaza, we embrace a play-based approach to learning, recognising its vital role in supporting the holistic development of children. Our educators are intentional and purposeful in their practice, thoughtfully planning and guiding experiences that promote learning through play. We are committed to creating a stimulating, well-designed, and inclusive learning environment that reflects and supports each child’s unique interests, strengths, and capabilities.
We deeply value partnerships with families, professionals, community members, and local schools, working collaboratively to support the best outcomes for children. These relationships help us discover rich learning opportunities in everyday moments like routines, transitions, and play experiences, ensuring that our curriculum is both inclusive and responsive to each child's background, family structure, and abilities.
A key part of our approach involves embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into the learning environment. By doing so, we aim to foster respect, understanding, and meaningful connections with the world’s oldest continuous cultures.
Our goal is to create a secure, respectful, and reciprocal environment where all children and families feel a deep sense of belonging and value. We view culture, and the context of each child’s family and wider community, as central to their identity and essential to their journey of being, belonging, and becoming. This culturally responsive philosophy underpins our belief in an integrated, holistic approach to early education.
We also place a strong emphasis on sustainable practices, encouraging children to develop a sense of environmental responsibility. Through ongoing sustainability projects, children learn to appreciate the natural world and understand the interconnectedness of people, animals, plants, land, and water.
Above all, we are committed to building trusting, respectful relationships with children and families. We cultivate a culture of collaborative leadership, reflective practice, and ongoing professional growth, ensuring that our team continues to evolve in support of every child’s learning journey.
Programs
Programs
Integricare Early Learning Centre Rockdale Plaza offers a range of holistic programs developed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework. The centre honours diversity and incorporates the use of first languages, cultural traditions and practices into centre programs.
Early learning
In line with the Early Years Learning Framework, the centre focuses on play-based learning, allowing children to develop at their own pace and in their own way. Educators proudly partner with parents to bring out the best in every child at every stage of development.
Preschool
The preschool focus is to build essential school readiness. The centre’s qualified teachers help children build and extend their language, literacy and numeracy skills, learn to be creative and develop independence, so they can enter ‘big school’ with confidence.
Munch & Move
Educators follow the NSW Health Munch & Move program to support healthy eating and physical activity programs in the classroom.
Online learning
The centre provides a range of online resources for parents and families. These include information on play and learning, health and wellbeing, child development and Christian learning.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
Integricare Early Learning Centre Rockdale Plaza has a strong family focus and educators work in partnership with families to develop individually tailored programs. Parents are encouraged to discuss their children’s milestones, interests and current needs.
The centre provides a developmental portfolio for each child that documents their learning, interests and friendship groups. It provides a rich array of online resources and has an online parent portal where families can stay up to date with activities and events.
To further support families, the centre organises supported playgroups. This provides a structured and positive learning environment for children, and is a great way for parents to socialise and share their experiences.
Every supported playgroup is facilitated by trained early childhood and family support workers. The team can refer and link families to health and community services and the centre partners with specialist services where needed to give appropriate support.
The centre has Family Workers, who support families with children between the ages of 0 and 8 years. By conducting comprehensive assessments, Family Workers are able to help families identify their immediate needs, support them through a case management process, and provide a home or outreach visiting service for children and family members.

We’re having such a wonderful experience at Integricare with my son, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the team of dedicated educators... We’re having such a wonderful experience at Integricare with my son, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the team of dedicated educators who make this place so special. From the very first day, the staff made both us and our child feel welcome, supported, and truly cared for. The educators are not only warm and nurturing, but also incredibly attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. It’s clear that they genuinely love what they do. My son comes home every day happy and full of stories about the activities they’ve done, the songs they’ve sung, and the friends he’s made — which speaks volumes about how engaged and safe he feels there. What I especially appreciate is the way the educators take the time to communicate with parents. They keep us updated on everything from daily routines to developmental milestones, and it’s reassuring to know they are as invested in our child’s growth as we are. The learning environment is playful, structured, and thoughtfully planned out. I can see real progress in my son’s confidence, social skills, and curiosity — and a big part of that is thanks to the care and guidance of the amazing educators. We feel very lucky to be part of this centre and highly recommend it to any family looking for a supportive, enriching early childhood experience. Read more

The best decision of my life - getting my kid out of this place. Earlier I noticed my kid has lost much of his confidence. Upon my requests the educators always downplayed. Instead constantly and continually demotivated; which further escalated self-consciousness and nervousness. My kid complained daily and we thought was exaggerating until I caught the educators in the act – manipulating and discouraging. Upon which I instantly terminated services. Very clearly and unfairly the educators have handful of their preferred kids and God forbid your kid isn’t one them then educators would sacrifice their well-being at blink of an eye. Overall the educators are very careless and negligent. I would easily rate them negative in all aspects: care, safety, well-being, supervision, personality, health, hygiene, trust, awareness, fairness, development, simulation/sensory, guidance and support.
