Ipswich Early Education Centre & Preschool

Ipswich Early Education Centre & Preschool

We are located at 1 Samford Drive, Leichhardt. Our hours of operation are 6am to 6pm and we are open 5 days a week, 52 weeks are year. The Centre caters for 74 children aged from 15 months to 12 years of age. We provide Before and After school care to school age children and vacation care on the holidays.

We believe food ingredients should come from the kitchen, not from a lab. From this belief came the inspiration to open our own production kitchen, the Healthy Cooking Company which provides morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea throughout our Child Care centres. We aim to create and promote natural and wholesome food with a number of health benefits.

As Educators, we believe in teaching children that physical activity can be fun as well as good for our bodies and minds. As a result we have employed the skills of a fully Qualified Personal Trainer to coordinate exciting exercise programs within our centres.

The centre boasts a new Emergent Curriculum which focuses on learning through natural curiosity, doing and self-directing, not through sitting before a teacher who imparts knowledge.

Our educators facilitate learning and extend as much as possible right there and then as the child's discovery unfolds.

As a result, children will develop a love for learning which will help them succeed in their future education. Their delight and spontaneous wonder should always be the first priority.

Our Centre has a free bus service that can be used by children whose Parents have no access to a car (conditions apply). Our school children also use the bus service to be taken to and from school and for vacation care excursions. ...read more
