Dolphin Ave Early Learning Centre overview
Dolphin Ave Early Learning Centre is a family owned and run long day care centre. As a family, we have over 30 years’ experience in the early years sector. The centre has been purpose built to provide an exciting environment for children to grow, learn and develop – no matter their needs or desires. We believe in a holistic approach when providing care.
As an inclusive centre, we work with families and communities to make sure all children and families feel safe, secure, and respected.
Our learning environments promote play as the basis for children's learning. Children are encouraged to explore, create and engage with their peers. With both indoor and outdoor facilities, children develop in all growth areas.
Our rooms are furnished with the latest equipment. Our kindergarten room utilizes the latest technologies to provide the 20th century learner with the tools they need to succeed. Our playground environment is state of the art, with equipment promoting physical play, but also quiet areas for rest. There is ample space for running ball games and group activities.
We look forward to sharing in your child’s journey and ensuring they are provided the best and most enjoyable learning experiences.

I cannot recommend this fantastic little centre highly enough. My daughter moved here for the Kindy room and when we visited we’d pretty much decided on another centre. But our meeting with Vanessa, the centre director, turned this decision around entirely for us. Her passion for early childhood education and when discussing the space she and her family had designed and built truly shone through. The centre is spacious, well-designed and modern with so many things for little people to enjoy. The centre is truly a family affair with many members of her family involved in various capacities, which gives it a real community feel. We moved from overseas so I was nervous about how my daughter would handle the transition but I could not be more grateful for how the wonderful Kindy educators supported her through. They really got to know her as an individual, evidenced by the report they prepared for her new school where they described her perfectly. I don’t think our first few months in Australia would have been anywhere near as successful without them - they were patient, supportive and fun, carefully designing the best experiences every day and fast becoming my daughter’s favourite people - she will miss them so much. Thank you so much to the entire team at Dolphin Avenue - we’re so sad to say goodbye as we head off to big school. You truly have a wonderful team and centre that you should be immeasurably proud of ❤️ Read more

(And unfortunately we had been with a few)... We now have our second child with Dolphins and we couldn't be happier. Vanessa, John and the whole team treat the children like family. They go above and beyond for my son with allergies to make sure he never misses out despite a restricted diet. The room educators Crystal and Bayli are the best, knowing they are looking after him makes the whole process of leaving him in care easier. Every single staff member knows my sons name, and we love the special events they organise to celebrate life throughout the year. Absolutely recommend Dolphins 🐬 💯 Read more
