Inside Early Learning & Care
At Woodville Alliance, we believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to thrive. Each day, we carefully plan and set up both the indoor and outdoor areas.
We include a variety of experiences so that children explore all areas of development – physical, social, intellectual. Here’s a glimpse into a day at our early learning centre:
Joeys Room
The Joeys Room is for our 1–3 years old children. The program offered in this room is focused around the EYLF. Aspects include: Development of sensory and motor skills through play. Introduction to social interactions in a caring environment. Creative activities such as painting and music time.
Kangaroo Room
The Kangaroo Room is for our 3-5 years old children. The program in this room provides a focus on the EYLF and School Readiness Skills. Aspects include: Preparing for school with literacy and numeracy games. Building independence with daily routines. Exploring nature through outdoor activities.
Our Commitment to Safety and Wellbeing
At Woodville Alliance Early Learning & Care, every child has the right to be safe, cared for and respected.
Our philosophy guides everything we do, recognising that children are capable, curious and competent learners who grow through play, relationships and belonging. We see safety as more than physical protection. It also means ensuring every child feels safe to be themselves, to share their culture, language and beliefs, and to learn in an environment where they are valued, heard and included.
Our educators follow the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and Woodville’s Child Safe Policy, working in partnership with families to uphold the highest standards for child safety, inclusion and wellbeing.

Meet Our Early Learning & Care Team
A Warm Welcome from Our Centre Director
Meet Shery, the heart of our Carramar family for over 9 years.
I believe that Woodville Alliance is more than just a centre; it is a community where every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and capable. Having led this team for 9 years as a qualified Early Childhood Teacher, my passion remains seeing our children grow in confidence and discover their unique strengths every single day.
I grew up in Egypt and have called Australia home for 20 years, so I speak both English and Arabic and truly understand the importance of building a welcoming ‘home away from home’ for our children.
When I am not at the centre, you will usually find me enjoying a good cup of coffee or getting lost in a great book. My door is always open to discuss your child’s journey and how we can best support your family.

“The staff are professional. They treat all the children with care and respect. As a parent, I always feel welcome when I pick up and drop my kids to the centre.”
Below, a few of our other families also share their own experiences with our Early Learning & Care.
“Childcare was needed, and the older siblings used to attend the service and had very good learning. When they moved to school they were ready for the big school and well-equipped with the skills needed for the new learning stage.” Parent

In her first few months at Woodville Alliance, Sarah has already built strong connections with the children — something she values most in her role. For her, it’s the trust, smiles and everyday interactions that make early learning so meaningful.

From celebrating special events to sharing quiet moments of connection, Sarah is already making a positive impact on our ELC community.

What does great early learning look like?
For Miss Alfi, it’s about understanding how each child learns — and adapting in the moment to support their growth.
With 3.5 years at Woodville Alliance and as an Accredited Conditional Teacher, Alfie brings a thoughtful, curious approach to the classroom. She speaks English and Indonesian and values the everyday exchange of ideas — not just with children, but with fellow educators too.
From classic stories like Three Little Pigs to signing along to Sing a Rainbow, Alfie creates learning experiences that are playful, inclusive and meaningful.
And outside the classroom? You’ll likely find her exploring new places in search of great coffee.
Because at Woodville Alliance, it’s educators like Alfi who keep learning alive — for everyone.
