Early Learning Centres

Our centres offer educational support for children aged 0 – 6 years to help them get ready for school.

Early Learning Centres that give every child the best start in life

Barnardos’ not-for-profit Early Learning Centres are places where children are supported to grow, explore and believe in what’s possible. With centres in Sydney and a new centre opening soon in Western Sydney, we create safe, inclusive environments where every child is valued and encouraged to thrive.

Our approach is guided by a deep belief in children’s potential. We listen, nurture and respond to each child as an individual, supported by passionate, highly qualified educators who are committed to giving children the very best start in life. Through a play-based learning program, children build confidence, curiosity and connection—developing the skills they need to learn, belong and flourish, now and into the future.

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
