Our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), a key component of the National Quality Framework, which has been developed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) to assist educators in providing young children throughout Australia with the best start to their educational journey. The framework focuses on achieving specific outcomes for students:
- Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity.
- Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world.
- Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing.
- Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.

We integrate these outcomes into our daily activities to ensure a holistic approach to your child’s development at our early learning centre.

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.

Educators work to ensure culturally safe, healthy and welcoming spaces where children feel secure, respected and valued.
We advocate for children’s rights and ensure their voices are heard in daily decisions that affect their care and learning.
We respect and celebrate cultural diversity and heritage, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and perspectives embedded in our daily practice.
We build authentic and respectful relationships with families, providing regular personalised updates on the progress of their children’s learning.
We maintain correct educator-to-child ratios, ensure supervision at all times, and follow clear checks to protect children from harm in the centre and during excursions.
We work in partnership with parents and carers, respecting their perspectives and supporting their role as the child’s first and most important educators.
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

Last night, members of the Woodville Alliance team were privileged to attend the ZEST Awards at Accor Stadium, joining community leaders, organisations and changemakers from across Western Sydney in celebrating the people who make our communities stronger every day.
The ZEST Awards recognise the often unseen but incredibly important contributions of individuals, volunteers, community groups and organisations working to create positive change across our region.
It was an inspiring evening filled with stories of compassion, resilience, leadership and community spirit. We were reminded of the extraordinary impact that can be achieved when people come together with a shared commitment to supporting others.
Congratulations to all finalists, nominees and award recipients. Thank you to the Western Sydney Community Forum for hosting such a meaningful event and for shining a light on the unsung heroes who make Western Sydney a more connected, inclusive and vibrant place.

Our latest blog explains the key changes in plain language and provides practical tips to help participants, families and carers prepare with confidence.
