I have been working in early learning since 2017 and joined the team at Albion Park World of Learning in 2022. I am deeply passionate about this sector. Although my own children have grown up, I still have so much to give to the children in our community. I work hard to ensure that each child who comes through our doors is safe, happy, and inspired every day. I am dedicated to providing the best possible education and care to the families in our centre community. Our play-based learning program, designed by qualified educators, is tailored to meet the individual needs of each child. We have a fantastic, caring team of educators who go above and beyond for our children. We maintain an open-door policy that encourages community involvement. I look forward to welcoming you to our Albion Park early education centre. Read moreless ## Our innovative early learning programs At our early learning centre in Albion Park, our play-based curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supporting children to learn through play, exploration and discovery. #### Sustainability We foster sustainability through a variety of initiatives, including a garden where children can explore and learn sustainability concepts, a recycling program in all rooms, and a system for collecting food scraps for our worm farm. Our art learning areas also utilise recycled materials. #### Community engagement We actively embrace community involvement, regularly taking the children on walks and excursions to local venues to enrich their experiences and broaden their horizons. These activities help our children connect with their surroundings and learn through real-world interactions. #### 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. #### 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. ##### Book a tour to experience our centre today ## Age-appropriate early learning ### 6 weeks – 2 years Nursery ### Nursery 6 weeks – 2 years In our nursery environment, educators focus on building strong, secure and respectful relationships so babies feel safe, settled and supported as they explore the world around them.

The educators are all incredibly friendly, caring, and attentive, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children in their care. We receive regular updates throughout the day, which gives us great peace of mind and helps us feel connected to our son's day. One thing that has really stood out to us is how well the centre manages health and hygiene—daycare illnesses have been kept to a minimum compared to other centres we have experienced. Most importantly, our son absolutely loves attending. He is constantly learning new things, and it's wonderful to hear him come home excited to tell us about the songs he's learned, activities he's participated in, and all the fun he's had with his friends and educators. We highly recommend Albion Park World of Learning to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging, and professional childcare centre. ### Rachel Morris Absolutely love the centre! The staff have been so welcoming and has been such a big big help in helping my baby settle into daycare. ### Kym Stainthorp This centre may not be the newest or have the fanciest equipment but it has so much heart.

Many of the staff have been there for years and years and they all care so much. It feels like a family, which for me as an Early Childhood Teacher, was vital when choosing a centre for my little man. The beautiful educators made him feel so welcome and safe and even though he is a shy child he has settled in so well. I leave there each morning feeling more and more reassured that we chose the right centre. Thank you guys for being so wonderful! ### Tash Groves My daughter loves going to this centre.

[Click here to book a tour online.](/book-a-tour) 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.](/family-information/how-to-enrol) ## 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.](/family-information/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](/family-information/family-communication). 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. ## Contact us We look forward to welcoming your family.
