Benowa Early Learning Centre
At Benowa Early Learning Centre we strive to give your little ones a diverse range of experiences, create strong connections and relationships and help them acquire a wealth of new skills and knowledge through our play based curriculum. We understand and implement the importance of inclusivity in all aspects of learning and allow child led moments, connecting with their natural surroundings and following their interests. This is all fuelled by beautiful nutritionist approved and designed seasonal menus with fresh, local produce sourced daily.
We believe that in order for us to care for and provide educational experiences of the very highest standard for your child, we must work closely with you, the parents. We recognize that you know more about your child than we ever will, thus we strive to combine your very detailed information about your child with our professional knowledge about children’s education and development. Our quality staff will ensure your peace of mind.
At BELC we take pride in our many weekly extra-curricular classes, including our on-site Gymnastics, Tumble Tots Gym, sustainable gardening workshops, Mindful Yoga classes, Music Lessons and visits from our Local Elder Uncle Allen who helps us embed the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce our Sister Centre Benowa Hills Early Learning Centre. We work very closely as a team and work in unison & compliment each other.
Philosophy
“It is our vision that each child who comes through our door, joins a community of children, families and teachers engaged in the joy, work and wonder of childhood”.
Children are all individuals and they need to be encouraged to discover and reach their full potential. To achieve this they need a loving, stimulating & non-threatening environment, which nurtures and challenges each individual child. We believe children need a sense of belonging”.
