" I began my career in early childhood education in 2012. My journey started at Algester World of Learning in 2016, where I served as the Early Childhood Teacher, Educational Leader, and 2IC. Throughout my years in early childhood education, I have been surrounded by amazing colleagues, leaders, and mentors. My role is vital as I nurture young minds and help shape our future leaders. Sharing laughter, investigations, and curiosities with children every day makes this role incredibly rewarding. As an early childhood educator, I have learned that it is important to slow down and engage in beautiful moments with children. They need to feel safe and secure to maximise their learning, especially in the early years. Once an educator builds a secure relationship, effective learning and development occur naturally. The team at Algester is dedicated, nurturing, and knowledgeable about early childhood. We are fortunate to have a diverse team that embraces different cultures and languages, including Khmer, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Hindi, and Punjabi. Their backgrounds are incredibly valuable to the children in our community. Open, honest, and effective communication is key to building relationships with our families. We offer "stay and plays" before children’s first days and ensure that families have insight into their child’s daily learning experiences. I look forward to welcoming you to Algester World of Learning early education centre. Read moreless ## Our innovative early learning programs At our early learning centre in Algester, our play-based curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supporting children to learn through play, exploration and discovery. #### Sustainability We emphasise sustainability with features worm farms, vegetable gardens, and composting. By engaging in these activities, children learn to appreciate and actively participate in maintaining a healthy environment. #### Community engagement We welcome special guests and community members to our centre based on the children's interests, enriching their learning experience. Our kindergarten children visit local schools regularly to help prepare them for their transition to school. #### 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. #### Cultural responsiveness and inclusion Children learn about different cultures, languages and traditions through shared experiences that encourage respect, curiosity and a sense of belonging. Educators value and support children’s home languages and ways of communicating, strengthening identity and connection to community. ##### Book a tour to experience our centre today [Book a tour](/book-a-tour?centre=algester-world-of-learning) ## Age-appropriate early learning #### (15 months - 3 years) ### Toddlers Our toddler room is set up with intentional play-based learning in mind.

[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.
