Yarrunga Early Learning Centre knows how important educators are in the lives of children, especially in the early years. To do this we employ staff who respect and represent our values, enthusiasm and team ethic when working with children and families. Our selection of employees is to ensure each individual child is nurtured by dynamic, supportive and dedicated staff members.
Our highly qualified educators provide a play based curriculum that aims to reflect the families and children's interests. All educators directly working with children are qualified, many of whom hold a diploma or teaching degree. In addition, time and resources are invested in educator professional development, to ensure we are at the forefront of providing innovative early childhood education and care.

While all educators are involved in planning for children's learning, we believe it is important that your child has a primary educator to form that initial attachment and provide a contact for the sharing of information.Primary educators plan parent/educator meetings in February and July each year.

Report
Two of my children attended here 5 days a week from the time they were 3 months old until they went to Kindergarten. This centre is brilliant. It is a not for profit part being part of the ACC - so they are not counting the number of peas on your child's plate or stretching out changing nappies to save costs. The level of care and educational play is outstanding. The carers at the centre are amazing, the facilities are terrific and it has an earthen non plastic feel to it. Easy to park and drop off which is so important.Would highly recommend.
