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.

At Woodville Alliance, families are an essential part of our learning community. In this short video, Maryana shares her family’s experience with our Early Learning & Care services, from what makes it special, the difference she has seen in her child’s confidence and learning, and the sense of belonging they’ve found.
“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

Tantrums, tears and BIG feelings — are they normal?
For young children, learning to understand and manage emotions is an important part of growing up.
This week, Maryana answers a question plenty of parents have asked: “My child is having lots of tantrums. Is that normal?”
Our experienced educators help children begin to recognise and name their emotions, calm themselves and find ways to communicate what they need.
Importantly, we also talk with families about what they’re seeing at home so we can work together and provide children with consistency and support.

💚 Together We Thrive this Mental Health Month
October is Mental Health Month – a reminder that looking after our mental health matters, and that none of us needs to do it alone.
This year’s theme, Together We Thrive, celebrates the power of connection.
A conversation. Checking in with someone. Feeling welcomed and included. Spending time with family, friends or community. These everyday moments can help us feel supported, understood and that we belong.
At Woodville Alliance, we see every day how connection creates stronger people, families and communities.
This Mental Health Month, take a moment to check in with yourself – and with the people around you. Sometimes a small act of connection can make a meaningful difference.
💚 Together We Thrive.

There’s plenty of creating, experimenting and exploring happening at Woodville Alliance Early Learning Centre as our children prepare artwork for the upcoming Creative Connections Art Show on 3 December.
From rolling and shaping clay to experimenting with flowers, textures and different materials, the children are using their imaginations and discovering their own ways to create and express themselves.
It’s all part of the joy of learning through play — building creativity, confidence and curiosity along the way.
These are just some of the creations taking shape. We can’t wait to share more at Creative Connections, bringing together artwork from across the Woodville Alliance community.

What if English isn’t the main language your family speaks at home? 🌏
At Woodville Alliance ELC, we see a child’s language and culture as an important part of who they are.
This week, Thi talks about how we support children from different cultural and language backgrounds as they settle into early learning and develop their English.
Our educator team reflects the diversity of the Western Sydney community around us. That lived understanding helps us work with families so children feel understood, comfortable and confident.
Because before children can really thrive, they need to feel that they belong.

Partnerships come in many forms – and sometimes, they help keep us moving. Literally. 🚗
A big thank you to @Proline Auto Body in Yennora for their ongoing support of Woodville Alliance and our local community.
Alongside their generous financial support, the Proline team provides high-quality care for our vehicles – helping keep them safely on the road so our Disability Services participants can travel to our hubs, get out into the community and stay connected to the activities and people that matter to them.
Our CEO Greg Benson and Business Development Manager Larry Shaw recently visited Proline to personally thank the team and present a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of their valued partnership.
To everyone at @Proline Auto Body – thank you for your generosity, the quality of your work and your commitment to supporting your local community. We’re very grateful to have you alongside us. ❤️

Finishing school. What comes next?
For a young person with disability, leaving school can mean a big change in routine, friendships and everyday support.
And the next step doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.
Woodville Alliance’s Life Essentials program helps young adults build practical skills, confidence and independence for everyday life — from catching public transport and managing money to understanding their rights, building healthy relationships and exploring future employment.
Across six practical modules, participants learn, build their confidence and practise their skills in a safe and supportive environment — including out in their local community.
Because life after school isn’t about following someone else’s timeline. It’s about building the skills and confidence to make your own choices.
Learn more about Life Essentials and how it can support the transition from school to adulthood.

🎨 Another sneak peek… Creative Connections is coming!
The creativity is continuing to take shape ahead of Woodville Alliance’s Creative Connections Art Show on 3 December, proudly supported by Fairfield City Council.
Children involved in our Community and Family Services programs have been exploring family, belonging and connection through clay and creative expression — creating everything from families holding hands and hearts to messages such as “You matter.”
These pieces show how creativity can give children a different way to express themselves, share what matters to them and celebrate the people and relationships that make them feel connected.
This is just another little preview of the work being created across Woodville Alliance for Creative Connections.
🎨 Creative Connections Art Show | 3 December
Stay tuned — there’s much more to come!

Does your child get upset when it’s time to say goodbye? ❤️
Starting early learning can be a big adjustment — for children and their parents.
This week, our Ask the Educator series turns to Tri, who shares a simple but important tip for managing separation: creating a calm and consistent goodbye routine.
Our educators know that settling in takes time. They’re there to provide reassurance, comfort and a familiar face as children gradually build relationships and become comfortable in their new environment.
And we work with parents throughout the process.
💬 See Tri’s advice in this week’s Ask the Educator.
Thinking about starting your child in early learning? Come and meet the people who’ll be there to welcome them.
