Geelong World of Learning 332 Autumn Street, Herne Hill, Victoria 3218

Welcome to Geelong World of Learning, a premier early learning and long day care centre located in the heart of Geelong, Australia. Our centre is a haven for families living or commuting through Geelong and nearby suburbs such as Geelong West, Belmont, South Geelong, Newtown, East Geelong, and Fyansford.

At Geelong World of Learning, we believe in fostering a love of learning in children from a young age. As soon as you step into our child care centre, you will be immersed in an environment where children are encouraged to explore and discover. Our spacious outdoor areas, complete with sandpits, a cubby house, and a vegetable garden, provide the perfect setting for children to embrace and connect with the natural world. Here, they can test their limits, develop strength and balance, and gain self-confidence.

Inside our centre, children are met with engaging resources and purposeful play spaces that inspire exploration and discovery. Our team of experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences tailored to each child's interests and learning goals. Through activities such as building, storytelling, experimenting, and creating, children develop essential literacy and numeracy skills. They become architects, scientists, artists, and designers, all while having fun and nurturing their innate curiosity.

At Geelong World of Learning, we understand the importance of a balanced and nutritious diet for children's growth and development. Our in-house cook prepares daily meals, with halal options available. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships and provide opportunities for storytelling and healthy eating practices. Additionally, children are encouraged to participate in selecting edible plants from our vegetable garden, which are then incorporated into some of our meals.

To enrich the daily program, we offer a rotating schedule of specialized programs such as music and movement, yoga, and sports. These programs aim to develop fundamental skills and enhance children's overall learning experience.

We strongly believe in the power of community and actively involve our children in excursions to nearby schools, the library, and the marine discovery centre. We also regularly invite educational children's shows and special guests, including emergency services, to further expand their learning. These experiences not only foster a sense of belonging but also help develop social and observational skills.

As a member of our World of Learning community, we are committed to partnering with you to provide high-quality education and care during your child's formative years. Our Family Support Team is always available to discuss your child care needs and arrange a tour of our centre. We understand that these first five years are crucial for your child's development, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Every day at Geelong World of Learning is a new adventure for children. While each day may be different, there are certain elements that make their time with us enjoyable and enriching. We invite you to scroll through our website to get a glimpse of what a typical day might look like for your child.
