Setting your little one up for big school and life
Welcome to the Carramar Early Learning Centre, a fun, safe, clean, and caring environment where your child can learn and play, explore with others and get ready for big school.
The Early Childhood Years Are The Foundation For The Journey Of Lifelong Learning
We believe a child’s work is play and children deserve the opportunity to learn, explore and create through play environments. Through play babies and young children explore and learn to understand the world around them as they communicate, discover, imagine and create. When children play, they show what they have learned and what they are trying to understand. As they play with other children, they create social groups, test out ideas, challenge each other’s thinking and build new understandings.
Quality long day care and modern education for children ages one to six years
Fully accredited and licensed by the NSW Department of Education & Communities
Spacious, bright, happy, and well-resourced class rooms
Specially designed teaching materials to encourage hands-on learning & problem-solving
“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

The centre is open from Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5.30 pm, and operates for 48 weeks of the year. It is closed for Public Holidays and four weeks over the Christmas and New Year period.
We aim to provide a homelike atmosphere that also stimulates learning and development. As staff, we want to provide a trusting and secure environment for both you and your children. We have 2 rooms for the children:
- The Joeys Room is for our 1–3.5-year-old children. In this room, we have up to 12 children with 2-3 educators. The program offered in this room is focused around the EYLF.
- The Kangaroo Room is for our 3.5-5-year-old children. In this room, we have up to 27 children with 3-4 educators. The program in this room provides a focus on the EYLF and School Readiness Skills.
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. Research has shown that children learn through play and the centre provides learning environments where children can explore, develop and learn. Some skills they acquire include self-discipline, sharing, turn-taking, cooperation, and communication skills.
- Children under three years of age – $129 per day
- Children over three years of age – $122 per day
