Willow Cottage Early Learning Centre

Willow Cottage Early Learning Centre is privately owned and provides care for children aged 0-5 years.

The centre occupies two cottages surrounded by trees and their aim is to provide a home away from home, where children can flourish emotionally and socially, and learn life skills in a stimulating and beautiful environment.

At Willow Cottage they believe that children learn through play. Play is incorporated into a balanced learning program that integrates intentional as well as spontaneous experiences. Through play, children are provided with continual opportunities to explore and express themselves as individuals, test their theories and discover the world in which they live, while developing an appreciation for their natural environment. 

They have an emergent curriculum at Willow which incorporates children's interests, spontaneous experiences, family input, and educational intentional teaching. The curriculum reflects early childhood practice, including links to the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standards.

The centre is open Mon - Fri 8:0am - 6:00pm
