At Olive's Place Early Learning Centre, we provide a nurturing and enriching environment where every child is encouraged to learn, grow, and explore at their own pace. Our tailored approach to early childhood education and care ensures that each child’s individual needs are met with love, support, and attention to detail. Here’s what we offer to ensure a safe, stimulating, and comfortable experience for both children and parents alike.
Educational Long Day Care
Our educational long day care program is designed to cater to the developmental needs of children aged 15 months to 5 years. For our youngest learners, we offer specialised care facilities that provide a calm, secure environment where they can thrive. We have two separate outdoor play areas; one for our little learners and another for our older children, ensuring that all children have the appropriate space to explore and engage with nature in a safe and supportive setting.
Climate-Controlled Comfort and Hygiene
We understand the importance of maintaining a comfortable and hygienic environment for young children. Our centre is equipped with climate control throughout, ensuring a comfortable temperature year-round, no matter the season. The air is always fresh, and the spaces are designed with hygiene in mind, providing a healthy, welcoming environment for your child.
Nutritious Meals Prepared by a Chef
Good nutrition is fundamental to a child’s growth and development. That’s why we provide delicious, nutritious three-course meals prepared daily by a professional chef using only the freshest market ingredients. Our meals are carefully designed to meet the dietary needs of young children, ensuring they have the energy and nutrients they need to explore and learn. A late snack is also available upon request at no extra charge, so your child can enjoy a healthy bite before heading home.
Real-Time Learning Insights
At Olive's Place Early Learning Centre, we’re excited to use the StoryPark platform as part of our commitment to providing the best early learning experience. StoryPark allows us to document and share your child’s learning journey in real-time through photos, videos, and observations. This innovative platform keeps families connected and offers valuable insights into your child’s development. By making communication simple and accessible, StoryPark strengthens the bond between parents and educators, ensuring we are all working together to give your child the best start in life.
Inclusive Nappy Service
To make your experience even easier, we provide a convenient nappy service as part of our daily fee. This means you won’t have to worry about bringing nappies, as we take care of this for all children in our care. Our staff ensures that children are changed regularly and comfortably, keeping them clean and happy throughout the day.
