About Ashfield Early Learning Centre

Ashfield Early Learning Centre provides enriching care and learning programs for children up to 6 years old. The skilled and committed team recognise that the first five years are the most critical period of a child’s life. Educators embrace each child’s uniqueness to help them develop a positive sense of self and community. 

Centre spaces are warm and nurturing, to ensure children feel safe, secure and valued. Interiors are bright and homely, with colourful furniture, art on the walls, and a rich array of toys, books and games. In line with the play-based learning approach, children have free time to pursue their interests, building important cognitive, social and motor skills through play.

The centre has an inviting outdoor space with wide lawns, vegetable gardens, bike paths, sand pits and age-appropriate equipment including a mini trampoline and climbing frames. Educators present stimulating outdoor activities as part of the Get Moving program, designed to support physical and gross motor development.

The centre is situated in a residential street in Sydnehy’s Inner West, convenient to bus and train routes. Why not book a tour of this welcoming and homely centre today?

The creative program fosters self-expression and supports children’s learning and development with a range of activities including imaginative role play, storytelling, drawing, painting, sculpture, drama, music and movement.

Ashfield Early Learning Centre has been awesome for our family. Both our kids have gone there for years and they’ve honestly loved it. The educators are kind, patient and really know the kids well, Communication is easy and relaxed, and we always feel comfortable asking questions or chatting about how the kids are going. The centre feels warm and welcoming, there’s a real community vibe, with regular events and chances for parents to get involved, which just makes it feel like the right place to be. We’re really happy we chose Ashfield Early Learning Centre and would happily recommend it to other families.

My daughter started attending this childcare when she was just 8 months old. As a first-time mum, I was very worried at the beginning, but the centre has been amazing. The facilities and equipment are well maintained, and the educators provide smooth, thoughtful transitions that really help babies settle in. What I appreciate most is the stability of the educators seeing familiar faces every day makes a big difference and helps my daughter feel safe and secure instead of scared. Thank you to all the educators for your care, patience, and hard work. We truly appreciate everything you do.

My 2 kiddies have been at Ashfield ELC since they were 10 months old, now are 3.5 years with 2 years to go! They love it - it is the educators and growing up with their friends from the baby room, to toddler room and now being in the preschool room together! The relationships and variety of learning is central to our core values and ELC checks both wonderfully!!
