Good Shepherd Lutheran College ELCs are open to children ages 3+ and provide an innovative play-based curriculum designed to cater to each child's individual learning style and needs. The learning program is based on the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), and a qualified teacher leads a team of caring staff in implementing this program. Children are exposed to a curriculum where they are encouraged to question, investigate and learn about the world around them, preparing them for the transition into their first year of Junior School.
Children can attend full-time or part-time with the choice of:
- School hours (8.15am - 2.30pm); or
- Long day care (7.00am - 5.30pm).
The facilities at all three of our ELCs include:
- Large, open resource-filled learning room;
- Large securely fenced outdoor playgrounds and spaces;
- Lovely shaded play areas;
- Sand/water play areas;
- Access to kitchen for cooking lessons;
- Clean and practical bathroom;
- Specialised learning equipment; and
- Dedicated, highly qualified and caring staff.
