A PROMISE IN EVERY SMILE.
Little Penguin Early Learning Centre is a newly established 90-place privately owned long day care and preschool in Kilsyth.
Our family-owned business operates 5 days a week between the hours of 7am to 6pm. We have 5 purposefully designed rooms to cater for children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Our goal is to provide children a supportive environment to thrive in their early years with education, health, development and general wellbeing. We provide a stimulating and safe nurturing learning environment that encourages children to discover the world around them.
It is our primary focus to collaborate with families to ensure positive transitions into care are experienced, no matter the age in which a child begins the journey. Secure attachments are the first foundations necessary before a child will freely engage with his environment. We pride ourselves in bridging the gap between home and care and striving for an environment that welcomes you in, enticing a secure love of self and curiosity for lifelong learning.
