Child Australia Lockridge Early Learning Centre and Outside School Hours Care 36 Diana Crescent, Lockridge, Western Australia 6054

Welcome to Child Australia Lockridge Early Learning Centre and Outside School Hours Care, located at 36 Diana Crescent in the heart of Lockridge, Australia. Our institution is a point of interest for families in the richly diverse local community, offering a range of educational and care services for children.

At Child Australia Lockridge, we believe in the power of inclusion and diversity. With families and staff representing 14 different languages and cultures, we embrace the mantra of inclusion, creating a welcoming and accepting environment for all. Our campus is conveniently situated near schools, health services, and public transport, making it easily accessible for families.

Our Early Learning Centre and Outside School Hours Care service are designed to support children's smooth transition to primary school and foster their ongoing learning journey. We work in partnership with local schools to deliver programs that empower children to thrive and succeed.

One of our key priorities is creating beautiful spaces for children to learn and develop. Our newly designed outdoor play environment is a dynamic space that encourages physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Sustainability is central to our philosophy, and we teach children about food origins through our chickens and kitchen garden. Children and families enjoy collecting eggs and harvesting fruits and vegetables, developing an appreciation for the food they eat.

The Lockridge campus philosophy is rooted in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We are committed to delivering high-quality education and care, acknowledging the importance of positive relationships in children's early years. Our goal is to provide stimulating play experiences and learning environments that enable all children to reach their full potential.

As a showcase for integrated service delivery, our campus offers a range of early and middle years' learning programs, parenting support, and community integration. We prioritize collaboration with families and the community, ensuring a healthy menu approved by a qualified Nutritionist and a natural outdoor play space in our Early Learning Centre.

We are proud to have been rated as "Exceeding" for the National Quality Standard, reflecting our commitment to excellence in education and care.

At Lockridge OSHC, our program takes children on a journey of discovery and learning. We encourage self-discovery, the development of friendships and leadership skills, and an appreciation for nature and the world around us. We want children to view OSHC as an extension of their family, feeling welcome and comfortable in their environment.
