Crest Road Early Learning Centre

Inspiring learning for life at Crest Road Early Education Centre. Our early learning and long day child care centre is perfect for families living or commuting through or near by Queanbeyan,Crestwood, Queanbeyan East, Queanbeyan West
and Karabar.

As you open the door to our centre, you will be immersed in a world where children are encouraged to explore,learn and grow. Spacious and natural outdoor areas including sandpits, water play area, vegetable garden and other exciting play equipment. Children enjoy uninterrupted time and space to explore the outdoors to test their limits and develop strength, balance, and self-confidence. Being outside supports children’s overall health and wellbeing.

Our indoor spaces invite exploration with quality resources and learning experiences. Children wonder, create, and test out their ideas as they play with a range of materials in purposeful play spaces. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals. Literacy and numeracy concepts are embedded in play-based learning, as children engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists, and designers.

The centre kitchen is at the heart of everything we do. Enjoy the smell of freshly cooked meals as you step into our centre. There is no need to pack your child lunch as nutritious meals and snacks are created daily by our in-house cook catering for all dietary requirements including halal. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences, and model healthy eating practices. Let us treat you to coffee and a snack each morning.

We offer a wide range of specialised programs that are on a rotating schedule including a music and movement and dance program. These fun and exciting programs enrich the daily program.

Our educators and children explore the local community with excursions to nearby parks, ovals, and the library. We regularly present educational children’s shows, such as puppet shows and welcome special guests to our centre including an Aboriginal elder who comes in regularly to encourage children with educational cultural activities. An eye specialist provides yearly eye tests for the preschool age children.

As members of our Early Learning Services community, we look forward to partnering with you to provide information, support, and high-quality education and care in your child’s formative years.

Take a walk in your child's footsteps

Every day is a different adventure with children, but there are some key elements that make your child's time so enjoyable at Early Learning Services Centres. Scroll through the below to see what a typical day might look like.

Arrival at the centre

Experience a sense of belonging as you are welcomed by our friendly centre teams. On arrival, share information about your child’s specific needs for the day. Our experienced educators will support you and your child with the morning transition from home to centre.

Mealtimes

Your child enjoys a nutritious menu prepared by our centre cooks. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences. Educators model healthy eating practices and social behaviours, and support children’s growing independence with mealtime routines.

Infant care

Infants are held in educators’ arms for feeding. Bottle feeding with educators or breastfeeding with Mum provides one-on-one time for connection, talking gently and responding to baby’s cues. Everyday routines provide opportunities to strengthen relationships and build language skills through songs, games, and conversations.

Play-based learning

As your child plays, they develop dispositions for learning including curiosity, problem-solving, confidence and resilience. Educators plan play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals. Play-based learning supports all areas of children’s development, including language and motor movement, memory, concentration, emotions, and social relationships.

Sleep, rest and relaxation

Sleep, rest and relaxation routines match your child’s individual needs. Effective sleep practices help children feel safe and secure to support better sleep. Opportunities for rest and relaxation are always available across the day. Play-based learning experiences are provided for older children who don’t sleep.

Heading home

Experience a sense of satisfaction that your child has enjoyed and benefited from their day at the centre. As you prepare to head home, speak with our friendly educators about your child’s learning and experiences across the day. We look forward to welcoming you back tomorrow.

I feel my kid is in good hands with Crest Road Early Learning Centre. The educators are very co-operative and interactive. Management is very considerate and understanding as well. They do conduct a good structure of teaching and learning. My child has managed to develop himself a lot since he joined the centre. I am personally very satisfied and happy as a client. I would love to recommend this centre to my friends and other acquaintances.

I would highly recommend Crest Road Early Learning Centre! My daughter has been attending since 14 months old. This is our first experience with a daycare centre, and it’s been a good one! The staff are very caring and supportive of the children, sitting and playing with the children and also really good learning experiences. The centre is also very easy to communicate with.

Katie Finlayson

My children have been attending Crest Road Early Learning Centre over the past 6 years. I have been so impressed with the care and attention my children have been given. Under the guidance of a dynamic Director, the educators have built a rich and diverse program that provides fun, social engagement and a respectful learning environment. I have felt confident that when my children are at the centre, they are in safe and caring hands.
