We provide a play-based program, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the National Quality Framework (NQF), and provide dynamic, challenging and appropriate learning experience for our children. Our belief that children learn best through play is at the forefront of our program, and a philosophy that we are proud ambassadors of. Research shows us that children learn most effectively whilst having fun, a philosophy that we aim to achieve each and every day. We recognise all children’s individual needs, interests and special capabilities, and ensure that children are active contributors to their own learning. At Baulkham Hills Early Learning Centre children’s voices are continually heard, valued, and respected.

We provide a ‘people based’ program, a platform that encourages not only children’s voices, but deliberate planning and intentional teaching scaffolded by our educators, partnerships with families, and collaboration with our local community. We believe that working closely with a child’s family is crucial to ensure continuity of learning and creates a positive and unwavering support system for each child. 

"The wonderful team at BHELC have exceeded our expectations and we are very grateful for the care that they have provided to our son. All the educators are warm, genuinely caring and dedicated to their work. My son had difficulties settling in initially, and all the educators were patient and understanding, kept me updated on how the day was going as he settled which was very comforting. At times when my son took interest in the older classroom, the educator was happy to take him and let him explore the new experiences there. Regular updates reflecting what the children have done and learnt are one of the highlights, the educators take a lot of time in sharing this. The outdoor play area is big with many activities for the children to play with and work is done to continually improve this. Meals are prepared fresh daily onsite. We couldn't ask for more. A big thank you to Rod, Laura and the team for providing an exceptional day care service for our children." - Vuong Family

"We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible care and attention you provide to our daughter each day. Your kindness and nurturing love make such a positive impact on her growth and development. We truly appreciate how you create a safe and welcoming environment where she feels valued and cared for. We absolutely love the variety of activities you offer, from creative arts to educational games, and we see the joy in her eyes as she participates. The daily updates and week in review keep us well-informed about her progress and the exciting events happening. It’s clear that so much thought and effort go into planning these activities, and it makes a world of difference.

We also appreciate how you actively involve families in special occasions like Grandparents' Day, Mother's and Father's Day. These moments are so meaningful and show how much you care about building a strong connection between the daycare and the families. The open communication you maintain with us is invaluable. The daily updates on her day provide peace of mind and make us feel closely connected to her experience. Thank you so much for everything you do. We are truly grateful!" - Christie Family
