"Listening to children – their feelings, ideas, and concerns – is the foundation of my approach."

I started my career in early childhood education in 2013 and joined Golden Grove World of Learning in July 2024. After having my children, I knew I wanted a career that was both rewarding and fulfilling, something I could see myself doing for decades. Early childhood education became that passion. I especially love meeting new children and their families, building meaningful relationships, and celebrating each child’s achievements as they grow and learn.

Throughout my career, I’ve learned that every child is a unique and capable learner, thriving in environments that are positive and supportive. Listening to children – their feelings, ideas, and concerns – is the foundation of my approach. By truly hearing them, we can guide them on their learning and life journeys with care and respect.

At Golden Grove World of Learning, we recognise the immense value of early childhood education in shaping children’s physical, social, and emotional well-being. Being part of a community that supports them – family, friends, educators, and others – helps children build confidence and thrive. It truly takes a village to raise a child.

I’m proud to lead a diverse team with a rich blend of ages, cultures, experiences, and personalities. Together, we support one another to create the best outcomes for children and their families. For me, supporting families means understanding their unique needs and providing the help they require to feel confident in their child’s care and education. Together, we foster a strong foundation for learning and growth.

I look forward to welcoming your family to our Golden Grove early education centre.

Our innovative early learning programs

At our early learning centre in Golden Grove, our play-based curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supporting children to learn through play, exploration and discovery.

Social and emotional learning

Children develop a strong sense of identity as they feel safe, secure and supported, building confidence, resilience and a positive sense of self. Through group activities, conversations and play, children learn to interact with others with care, empathy and respect, building positive relationships and friendships.

Community engagement

We often have visits from local community services in Golden Grove to help familiarise the children with their local community, and we go out on adventures in our local area to teach the children about their local environment.

Music and movement

Our evidence-based Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR) program is designed to develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory, and concentration. It is an innovative approach to holistic learning, development and well-being in early childhood.

Exploration and problem solving

Educators introduce open-ended materials and invitations to explore, such as building, measuring and experimenting. Through shared conversations and investigation, children develop curiosity, problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

See more We’ve had a really positive experience with Golden Grove World of Learning Child Care Centre. Our daughter previously attended the centre, and our son currently attends, so we’ve had the pleasure of being part of the centre’s community for some time. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and caring, and the centre is consistently clean and well maintained. We’ve noticed a real improvement in both of our children’s confidence and interaction with other children, which has been great to see as parents. Our kids love going there and have built great relationships with their educators. The educators truly go above and beyond to care for our children and support their individual needs, learning and development. We also appreciate the variety of nutritious food provided throughout the day and the effort the centre puts into celebrating special occasions. It’s reassuring knowing our children are in a safe, clean and welcoming environment with educators who genuinely care about their wellbeing and development. We’re very happy with the centre and would happily recommend Golden Grove World of Learning to other families!

See more World of Learning is truly one of the best childcare centres you could send your child to. Before finding them, my son had attended five different childcare centres, and unfortunately, none of them were able to provide him with the support and understanding he needed with his autism and other additional needs. From the moment my son was at World of Learning, they made it their mission to support him, understand his needs, and ensure he was always cared for. The educators were knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely committed to helping him learn, grow, and feel safe and happy. They went above and beyond to give my son the care, attention, and support he deserved, and I will always be grateful for everything they did for him. My son has started school now, but he misses everyone at World of Learning so much. That alone says how much of a positive impact they had on his life. Finding a childcare centre that truly understands your child and supports them as an individual means everything, and World of Learning did exactly that for us. I cannot thank the team enough for everything they have done for Leo. I would highly recommend this centre to any parent looking for a caring, supportive, and understanding environment for their child. ❤️

See more Both of my daughters have attended this centre since they were infants, and one has recently moved on to primary school. Our experience has been phenomenal! The staff have been incredible, supporting our family through life's bumps, incorporating children's interests into activities, and being proactive to continually improve their spaces and programs. The preschool program set my daughter up very well to start primary school, even offering extensions in her learning to cater best to her needs (independence with routines, early phonics, etc). One term in to primary school, it is clear that she has a very solid foundation on which she is basing her new learning. The outdoor spaces are large and varied for each age group, but also allow for the children to come together at special times, which was great when my youngest started and my girls could still play together sometimes. Our highlights at the centre have included special visits from library staff, police, and fire fighters, and of course greeting the resident budgies at the start and end of each day! I can confidently recommend Golden Grove World of Learning to anyone looking for a welcoming, educational and fun centre for their children to thrive! 😊

Our Son is almost 4 years old and has been attending the service since he was about 10-11 months old. The care, facilities and overall feel about the place has really improved since the new Centre Manager commenced – Sara is fantastic! Quite often she will be in the rooms and outside, engaging with the children which is great to see. The previous centre manager was always sitting at the front desk. We receive regular updates on our child's day through an app and the educators are always happy to have a chat to discuss any concerns etc.

A centre tour is a convenient way to experience the childcare centre of your choice and meet with our qualified educators at a time that is suitable for your family’s schedule. Click here to book a tour online.

On the day of the tour, you can observe practices and interactions within the centre environment. You’ll be able to see all the rooms and playgrounds, ask the team members any questions you have in mind, and get all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.

Enrolling is simple, and our Family Support Team will guide you through each step.

First, find your local centre and book a tour so you can meet the team and explore the learning environment. If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you’ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child’s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.

To finalise your enrolment, you’ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You’ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child’s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.

Before your child’s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.

Read our step-by-step guide on how to enrol here.

Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.

Before your child’s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.

When your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your child’s routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

Learn more about our Settling-in Program.

Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.

For nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits and spare socks.

For toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, it’s best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits and spare socks.

Plus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.

It’s best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.

World of Learning uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child’s day.

After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child’s learning, learn about your child’s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.

If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, World of Learning is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.

Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.

We look forward to welcoming your family.
