Arkie Early Education Centre Wahroonga

Arkie Wahroonga’s qualified and experienced educators work collaboratively to deliver the highest quality early education. Proudly passionate and curious with a drive to make things better, the team nurtures and empowers every child to be independent, creative and confident.

A leadership development program ensures educators have access to continued educational opportunities. Team members enjoy expanding their knowledge and experience not only within early childhood but also across a diverse range of areas.

These skills then enhance all educational programs, providing an even more enriching experience for children.

Arkie Wahroonga proudly partners with parents to inspire confidence, health and happiness in every child. Understanding that every child is unique, the team recognises the importance of parental involvement to deliver its tailored learning programs. This collaboration helps build the social and emotional literacy of every child in preparation for kindergarten and life beyond school. 

Family founded, the centre truly appreciates the importance of family. While the team believes in the importance of play, the educators are also committed to the highest level of safety, care and education for every child.

The team also keeps parents up to date via the Arkie App. This includes regular updates about a child’s day, photos of different activities and events plus information on the children’s routines. It’s also very easy for parents to contact the team with questions or to share important information.

The Arkie curriculum is underpinned by the concept that “the process is the product” – learning through play.  Play is so fundamental to a child’s optimal development that it has been recognised by the United Nations High Commission as a right of every child. The centre’ holistic, play-based program is designed with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) in mind and adapted to Arkie’s teaching philosophy.
