We’ve been sending our toddler to Burwoodhouse ELC since early 2025, and we’ve had a wonderful experience so far. The team has been incredibly supportive and accommodating to both our needs and our child’s. They provide genuine care and create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for the children. We especially love the variety of engaging activities they offer. My partner and I feel very confident and at ease knowing our child is in such capable and caring hands.

Jo Rodrigo - Burwood House Childcare Centre Director

I believe education should be engaging, inclusive, and empowering. Every individual has unique strengths, and my role is to create a supportive environment that fosters curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. Through positive relationships, clear expectations, and a balance of challenge and support, I aim to inspire growth, resilience, and lifelong learning.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

The heart and soul behind Burwood House Early Learning Centre is our founder, who embarked on this journey with nine years of dedication and love for early childhood education. Starting her path after having her second child, she nurtured a dream that blossomed into reality when she commenced working in child care in 2014.. Since then, her vision has flourished into a network of multiple centres across Sydney and Melbourne. As a mother of four-three cherished daughters and a beloved son-her commitment to the well-being of children is both personal and profound. Her journey from mother to founder is a testament to her unwavering passion for making a positive impact in every child's life. Driven by her own experiences as a mother, she has created a family business that strives daily to ensure each child's happiness and growth. Her story is one of love, dedication, and an enduring desire to make a difference in the lives of the young ones who light up our world.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

Our environments are thoughtfully arranged with natural materials that engage and stimulate the senses of our 0-2 year-old children. These materials include soft wood, silk, muslin, and soothing, low-volume mood music. Every experience within the room is tailored to be age-appropriate, ensuring the utmost priority is given to the safety and well-being of our little ones.

To maintain a safe environment, our educators undergo regular refreshers on baby health and safety, including sleep safety practices. Our Early Learning Centre in Burwood Victoria strives to create a calm, nurturing, and secure atmosphere for all our Tiny Wanderers, promoting their exploration and development in a loving and protected setting.

Programs

Programs

"Burwood Yogi" is our yoga program tailored for children ages 0-5, introducing them to the benefits of mindfulness, movement, and body awareness. Through playful, age-appropriate yoga poses, breathing exercises, and calming techniques, children develop skills to manage emotions, improve focus, and enhance flexibility. Each session blends storytelling and imagination with movement, encouraging children to explore poses like "tree," "mountain,” and "butterfly," all while learning to connect with their bodies and the present moment. "Burwood Yogi" supports physical health, fosters emotional resilience, and helps children build confidence and relaxation skills, laying a foundation for lifelong well-being.

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

At Burwood House Early Learning Centre, we recognise that every child learns at their own pace—and some children show signs of being ready for more structured learning before they start school. Our Enhanced School Readiness Program is thoughtfully designed for children ages 4-5 who are intending to move to kindergarten the following year.

This program builds on the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and carefully incorporates key elements from the Kindergarten Syllabus to provide a meaningful bridge between early learning and formal schooling. It focuses on developing higher-order thinking, early literacy and numeracy, independence, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and the confidence to engage in group learning.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

We believe strong parent partnerships are essential, which is why we have a dedicated closed Facebook group just for our families. Here, we share photos, daily updates, and upcoming events, giving you a window into your child’s day and keeping you connected to our centre community every step of the way.

Plus, access your dedicated online account to view your child’s learning observations, update your enrolment records, confirm your government child care entitlements (CCS) and pay fees.

My 15-month-old son has been attending Burwood House since January, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he’s received. The team are so lovely, warm, and genuinely caring. It’s clear they take the time to get to know each child and create a nurturing environment where little ones can feel safe, supported, and happy. We’ve seen so much growth and confidence in our son since he started – it’s a joy to watch. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a beautifully spacious centre, with a great outdoor setting this is the one! The teachers and Jo go above and beyond to make my little one feel comfortable. I have moved away from the area and choose to drive 40 minutes in the morning to go there because nothing compares!

Response from the owner 25 Sep 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your little one feel so at home at our centre. It means the world to us that you're willing to make the drive to be with us, and we’re so happy that our teachers and Jo have made such a positive impact. Thanks again!
