About Us

Fun and functional learning environment

Camberwell Junction Early Learning Centre is a privately-owned purpose built childcare centre caring for up to 60 children each day. We have three separate rooms: Ladybird Room (Nursery), Caterpillar Room (Toddlers) and Butterfly Room (Kinder) where the children have small personal groups and are looked after by qualified and dedicated educators. Each room operates in accordance with national ratios and has its own learning program fitting to the individual needs of the group. Developmental observations are taken and recorded for parents to discuss with our educators at any time.

The boutique nature of the day care centre means that we are able to provide more personal care to your children. We also have new learning equipment coming in regularly, enabling us to carry out our educational programs with modern teaching tools.

Centre Staff

We pride ourselves on the stability of our educators. This allows you and your child to develop a strong and trusting relationship. All educators have a working with children check, first aid and anaphylaxis training as well as food handling certificates.

You will be greeted by familiar faces every day allowing you and your child to develop strong and trusting relationships with our educators. Our educators have access to training and development opportunities in the early learning profession and are on track to comply with the government standards for educator qualifications.  We regularly attend professional development to keep up to date with current early childhood practices and to extend our knowledge in early childhood theory and development.

We value the role of the child in creating their own learning experiences and acknowledge our role as educators to expand on those experiences; we listen to their valuable opinions and involve them in the decision making process.  We believe that by providing a warm, nurturing, safe environment for children and families, children feel confident and capable to explore and examine the world around them.
