Discovery Bay Childcare and Early Learning Centre Werribee

Welcome to Discovery Bay Childcare and Early Learning Centre Werribee, located at 28 Riverbend Crescent in Werribee, Australia. Our establishment is a point of interest that offers a unique approach to early learning and childcare.

At Discovery Bay, we believe in guided play to help young ones make new discoveries and form new neural pathways. Our focus is on reaching communication, movement, and coordination milestones, as well as making new connections through practical real-world experiences. We strive to build a solid foundation for your child's seamless transition into school by stimulating creativity, problem-solving ability, and independent thinking.

We understand that every child is different, which is why we take the time to get to know your child and tailor our approach to meet them where they're at. Our purposefully designed rooms help children focus on tasks and explore different areas of learning. Equipped with the right tools for a range of fun activities, our rooms provide important lessons in a beautiful setting.

Our playgrounds are specially designed for enrichment and discovery. There is so much to explore and discover outdoors, from creating a fairy garden to playing pirates in the jungle. The only limit is your child's imagination. At Discovery Bay, your kids are on an exploratory adventure every single day!

The Explorer Spirit is at the heart of our approach, giving children the confidence, curiosity, and resilience to go out there and find whatever it is they want to find in life. We prioritize building knowledge and stimulating creativity, problem-solving ability, and independent thinking. Our enquiry-based activities engage children with tactile materials, allowing them to make new discoveries and connections about what things mean.

We understand the importance of nutrition for growing minds and bodies. That's why our seasonal menus follow Australian Nutritional Guidelines specific to early learning and afterschool childcare. We ensure your child eats balanced and healthy meals made from fresh and delicious ingredients.

Our educators are highly qualified and dedicated to facilitating a tailored journey of discovery for your child. We require our educators to be at least Diploma qualified, and we advocate for our senior educators to hold a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. Your child's physical and emotional wellbeing is always our top priority, and we work with them to guide healthy behavioral pathways for their emotions.

We take every measure to ensure minimal risk of viruses and unwanted bugs. Each of our rooms is equipped with an air purifier that minimizes airborne virus risk and improves air quality. We also incorporate innovative technologies, such as OSMO, to stimulate better learning. Children keep an online learning journal of their discoveries, allowing them to record progress and cherish precious memories from their early years.

Discovery Bay is one of the first early childcare centers to bring STEM subjects into early learning. Our industry-first methodology delivers an expanded early learning program that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) within a Montessori curriculum. STEM allows children to enquire, problem solve, make new discoveries, and form new neural pathways.

Our goal is to equip your child with the foundational resilience, confidence, and critical thinking ability they need for a great head start and progression through school and in life. Kids learn at their own pace and take away valuable lessons from their discoveries that they can apply to their everyday life. Learning through real-world applications makes learning more fun and embeds lessons better.

Our curriculum follows the guidelines from the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) and the National Quality Standard (NQS). It is our priority to make sure your child is set up to be at the level required for transition into any school you choose.

We are proud to have educators who have higher job satisfaction than the industry standard. If you're curious to know what your child's daily adventures will look like, we invite you to book an orientation meeting to establish your learning and development goals for your child. You can also book a guided tour of your closest Discovery Bay Early Learning Centre to see our facilities for yourself.

At Discovery Bay, we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which our centers are situated. We also pay our respects to their respective Elders, past and present, and the Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may still reside in these areas today.

Join us at Discovery Bay Childcare and Early Learning Centre Werribee, where we are dedicated to building the educational foundation, confidence, and critical thinking skills that kids need for a strong start in life. We are proudly participating in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Classroom and are a member of Montessori Australia.
