Vattana Early Learning Centre

Childcare and preschool in Cabramatta, NSW

Vattana Early Learning Centre offers long day care and a preschool program for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, conveniently located for families in Cabramatta, Canley Vale, Lansvale, Mount Pritchard and Fairfield.

Spacious outdoor environments

Children can dig, climb, move and explore in outdoor spaces with garden beds, vegetable gardens, an inbuilt sandpit and climbing experiences. Gross motor activities are part of everyday play.

Home-like indoor spaces

Our centre has a warm, home-like feel, with neutral-toned furniture and wooden toys that create a calm setting for play and learning. These thoughtfully arranged spaces help children feel settled while they explore, create and take part in daily experiences.

Long-standing educator team

Many of our educators and teachers have been part of the centre for more than 10 years, with some team members here for up to 25 years. This long-term consistency helps children build strong relationships with educators who know their routines, personalities and interests.

Individual Learning Plans

Individual Learning Plans are developed in partnership with families, reflecting each child’s strengths, interests and developmental goals. Educators use these plans to guide learning through play, routines and everyday interactions.

Government-approved Preschool program

Our Government-approved Preschool program is delivered by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher. Children practise routines, build friendships and develop the confidence and skills they need as they get ready for school.

Community visits and local excursions

Children take part in police and fire brigade visits, local park excursions and trips to zoos and farms. These experiences help children learn about their community, explore new places and bring real-world learning into the program.

Yoga and language learning

Children enjoy yoga sessions as part of the centre program. Preschool children can also take part in a language program through the ELLA platform, giving them opportunities to listen, communicate and explore language in a playful way.

Fresh meals and family updates

Fresh meals and snacks are prepared daily to help children stay nourished and ready for their day. Families can also stay connected through our family app, with regular photos and updates about their child’s routines, learning and centre experiences.

Julie

8 years with our centre

  • Bachelor of Education (Birth to 5 Years)
” I create an enriching, stimulating environment and design play-based programs that help children meet their developmental milestones, guided by their interests and family input.”

I have been working in the early learning sector since 2009 and joined the Vattana Early Learning Centre team in 2018. Before becoming a centre manager, I was a room leader with experience across all age groups. I love watching children grow into beautiful, caring, and intelligent individuals. Knowing that I make a difference in their lives makes my job incredibly rewarding. As an educator, I create an enriching, stimulating environment and design play-based programs that help children meet their developmental milestones, guided by their interests and family input.

Children learn by interacting with educators and peers, developing social skills in a dedicated early learning environment. They learn to engage, play in groups, share, and take turns, becoming more confident in group settings. At Vattana, we also focus on developing children’s self-help skills to prepare them for kindergarten. Our team of educators and teachers is passionate about creating a home away from home for families and children. We believe learning is a lifelong process for both children and educators, maintaining high-quality service through ongoing education, training, and reflective practice.

We acknowledge that the family is the most powerful influence in a child’s life and that children benefit the most when we partner with families. We support our families by keeping them involved in their children’s learning progress through our family app and daily communications. We host events throughout the year, such as our Easter parade, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and annual Christmas party.

I can’t wait to welcome your family into our early education centre in Cabramatta.

Our innovative early learning programs

At our early learning centre in Cabramatta, our play-based curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supporting children to learn through play, exploration and discovery.

Sustainability

We have 4 garden beds where we encourage families to help with planting and share in the harvest. We implement reduce, reuse, and recycle practices, encouraging children to use recycled materials in their play and involving families in donating recyclables.

Social and emotional learning

Children develop a strong sense of identity as they feel safe, secure and supported, building confidence, resilience and a positive sense of self. Through group activities, conversations and play, children learn to interact with others with care, empathy and respect, building positive relationships and friendships.

Music and movement

Our evidence-based Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR) program is designed to develop fundamental skills that help support children’s self-regulation, memory, and concentration. It is an innovative approach to holistic learning, development and well-being in early childhood.

Independence and life skills

Children develop autonomy, interdependence, resilience and a sense of agency through meaningful participation in everyday routines, such as preparing snack, caring for plants, and tidying shared spaces.

Age-appropriate early learning

We provide learning experiences tailored to each stage of your child’s development. Our programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and designed to support children’s wellbeing, confidence and growing independence.

See more Edit: Three years have passed since my initial review, and now my eldest child is in second grade, while my second daughter is starting her time with Vattana. It’s wonderful to see the same team still in place. Kudos to Miss Julie for running such a fantastic childcare center, and to all the educators who dedicate their time and effort to provide exceptional care and education to every child. My daughter has been attending this centre for about 2 years now and she loves it here. Centre is cleaned, ourdoor/indoor setup is good, all the educators are friendly and caring. She can remember all staff's names there, even for those not in charge of her class. When my 2nd one coming, I will definitely register him/her under this centre.

Frequently asked questions

A centre tour is a convenient way to experience the childcare centre of your choice and meet with our qualified educators at a time that is suitable for your family’s schedule. Click here to book a tour online.

On the day of the tour, you can observe practices and interactions within the centre environment. You’ll be able to see all the rooms and playgrounds, ask the team members any questions you have in mind, and get all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.

Enrolling is simple, and our Family Support Team will guide you through each step.

First, find your local centre and book a tour so you can meet the team and explore the learning environment. If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you’ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child’s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.

To finalise your enrolment, you’ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You’ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child’s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.

Before your child’s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment. Once your paperwork is complete, your child is ready to start their early learning journey with us.

Read our step-by-step guide on how to enrol here.

Starting child care is a big milestone, and a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable and confident.

Before your child’s first day, you can talk positively about their new centre, explain what their day might look like, and practise small routines such as packing their bag, saying goodbye, washing hands and sitting down for meals. You may also like to visit the centre with your child, meet their educators and ask our team about what to bring on the first day.

When your child starts, our educators will take the time to get to know your child’s routine, interests, comfort items and individual needs. Settling in looks different for every child, so we work closely with families to help children feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

Learn more about our Settling-in Program.

Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them.

For nursery children, be sure to bring: nappy rash cream, dummies, bottles and teats, comfort toys or blankets, three spare outfits and spare socks.

For toddlers and preschool or kindergarten-aged children, it’s best to bring: spare underwear, water bottle or sippy cup, sun hat, closed-toe shoes, two spare outfits and spare socks.

Plus, anything else your individual child may need, such as breast milk, a sleeping bag, a comforter or medication.

It’s best to speak to your centre of choice for a full list of everything included.

Early Learning Services uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child’s day.

After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child’s learning, learn about your child’s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.

If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, Early Learning Services is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.

Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.

We look forward to welcoming your family.
