Welcome to Westminster Early Learning Centre, located at 23 Alison Avenue in Marion, Australia. As a Uniting Church coeducational independent day and boarding school, we provide a seamless education journey for your child in one beautiful campus.

Our Early Learning Centre (ELC) serves as the starting point for this educational journey, guaranteeing a place for your child from Reception all the way to Year 12. Set in a green and spacious environment, our ELC offers a stimulating and fun atmosphere that nurtures your child's social, emotional, physical, cultural, and cognitive potential.

At Westminster, we understand that every child develops at their own pace. That's why we encourage their curiosity, risk-taking, and willingness to try new things, leading to new discoveries and connections. With access to our school's extensive resources, technology, grounds, and facilities, our ELC students develop lively and enquiring minds in a happy, stimulating, caring, and secure environment.

Our specialist staff in key learning areas such as Physical Education, Music, and Library provide a brilliant start to your child's education. Additionally, our ELC offers early morning and late afternoon care, vacation care, and a structured Early Learning program. We maintain an excellent staff/student ratio and group students based on their maturity and readiness for specific tasks, ensuring personalized attention from qualified teachers and support staff. Food, including morning tea, lunch, and afternoon snack, is provided during the day.

As proud as we are of our ELC, we are even prouder to share that we have surpassed the expectations set by the National Quality Standard Assessment and Rating performed by the Australian Children's Education & Care Quality Authority. Our overall rating was 'Exceeding National Standards'.

If you have any further questions about our Early Learning Centre, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page. Please note that due to high demand, current ELC families are required to give 12 months' notice to change bookings between the two-day, three-day, and five-day programs.

Orientation is also an essential part of our program, allowing students to familiarize themselves with their Junior Primary teachers and the classroom environment. This ensures a smooth transition to the next stage of their education.
