Woodlands provides a learning environment that supports children to thrive as they build a sense of being and becoming. Educators understand the importance of the development, and celebration of individual personalities to help create a sense of belonging where children have the confidence and resilience to play, learn and explore.

Nursery
6 weeks - 12 months
The Nursery classrooms are beautifully designed, safe, and inviting places where infants can thrive while being supported by experienced educators to reach developmental milestones, learn about their world and develop a sense of belonging.
From exploring different textures and sensory activities, to making music and singing, enjoying physical development through tummy time, to exploring the world of food and the outdoors, children are given every opportunity to thrive and enjoy their days.

Our educational philosophy focuses on child development and learning. Our programs are designed to adapt to children’s needs, interests, and routines. With a team of experienced educators and teachers at various campuses, our childcare services engages your child in meaningful activities.

We believe every child is born with creativity, and childhood educators’ purpose is to nurture this. When your child’s imagination is encouraged to develop, they will become better problem solvers and communicators with improved social and emotional skills.

At Woodlands, our Campus Chefs prepare fresh, nutritious meals each day for all children, including tailored options for those with dietary requirements or allergies.

Meal times vary depending on each classroom’s age group and daily routine. Below is a guide to the meals we serve every day, at no additional cost.

Our Chefs thoughtfully design menus around the needs and preferences of children, using the Healthy Eating Advisory Service as a guide to ensure all meals meet the Healthy Eating Guidelines of Australia.

Woodlands ELC puts the child first in everything it does. This starts by hiring only passionate and skilled teachers and educators.
