Our strong partnerships with children and their parents are formed through reciprocal and respectful relationships, providing a sense of belonging for all at Landsdale Early Learning and Enrichment
Our daily practise is inclusive and respectful of our multicultural society. We acknowledge the uniqueness of each child in our care.
​
Children thrive when encouraged to explore and discover in an active learning environment. They make discoveries for themselves and engage in appropriate risk taking whilst fully supported by a skilled and dedicated teaching team.​
That babies require freedom of movement in order to develop core strength, independence and the sense of achievement that develops into capable, strong lifelong learners.
Our passionate Educators are committed to fostering open-mindedness, critical thinking, and problem solving for all children in our care.
Educators are respectful of children and endeavour to provide a curriculum and daily rhythms that are responsive to children’s individual needs. We also appreciate that children, at times, require solace and time for themselves and we strive to provide spaces conducive to these needs.
We create environments that meet the needs of our unique group. Our large natural outdoor learning environment provides abundant opportunities for exploration and experiences with natural and open ended materials.

We allow children to unfold naturally.

We strive to provide a centre of excellence for our parents and children. The experience had by both parties is paramount therefore we aim to constantly raise the bar to ensure, this is a fruitful, comfortable and positive experience. This experience spans the child’s journey at LELE, from enrolling, to the day to day interactions and to the growth and the departure of the child upon them reaching School age.

The Enrolment Process
Starting Care: What to Expect
​
The first step to starting care is a tour of our centre. During the tour, the Centre Manager or Administration Officer will introduce you to our team of friendly educators and explain the requirements for placement confirmation. This is a valuable opportunity for families to get a feel for the environment their child will be in and to meet the educators who will be providing care and education.
​
Ensuring that children feel safe and secure in their new surroundings is key to forming positive attachments with educators. To support this transition, we offer two complimentary orientation sessions, each lasting one hour. These 'Stay and Play' trial sessions are provided at no cost to families and are designed to help children and families feel at ease before officially starting care.
​
We encourage open and honest communication at all times. Our educators are here to ensure your expectations align with ours, so please don’t hesitate to ask questions and share your feedback. We understand that starting care may be a new experience, and we are happy to share our knowledge and time to help you understand why we are so passionate about working in the Early Childhood Education and Care sector.
​
We also recognise that the first day of care can be an emotional time for both children and families. You're welcome to call the centre as often as needed to check in and speak with your child’s educators about how their day is going. ​
Fees
Affordable Quality Care at Landsdale Early Learning and Enrichment
​
Landsdale Early Learning and Enrichment is committed to providing high-quality care that is accessible and affordable for all families. The amount you pay for care depends on the level of Child Care Subsidy (CCS) you are eligible to receive.
​
The Australian Government offers the Child Care Subsidy, this means the amount you receive is based on your family’s income and activity level. The subsidy is paid directly to our centre by Centrelink, so you only need to pay the difference between the full fee and the subsidy (known as the "gap payment").
​
If you’re unsure about your eligibility or would like help estimating your subsidy and out-of-pocket costs,
