Giraffe Early Learning Centre
Giraffe Early Learning Centre overview
At Giraffe Early learning Centre your child’s sense of belonging and safety is at the heart of our philosophy. We offer a generous transition period for you and your child where you can visit our centre up to 3 weeks prior to your official start date. We are a very multicultural centre and offer an exciting program for children whereby children are the focus point of their own learning. Our transition to school program is integrated into our daily practice and aims to equip children with valuable life skills. We are fully air conditioned and prepare fresh meals daily in our centre.
The fully trained inhouse chef prepares all meals and snacks from scratch using fresh ingredients. With a varied seasonal menu based on the guidelines from Nutrition NSW and Munch & Move, the food is designed to encourage children to try new flavours. Children enjoy weekly cooking demonstrations with the educators, and they make the most of the opportunity to talk with the children about healthy eating and nutrition. The children learn self-help skills such as serving themselves food to help them learn when they have had enough. Some of their favourite meals include Spaghetti Bolognese and Vegetable Casserole for lunch, and Vegemite scrolls or cheese and crackers for afternoon tea.
- Language program: children learn Portugese and Mandarin from native speakers.
- Cooking program: children enjoy cooking experiences each week with the educators in each room.
- Outdoor fun days: water play and other outdoor fun with the centre’s jumping castles.
- Incursions: special guests come to the centre, such as Kinder Farm, Science and Indigenous education experiences.
- Gross motor skills program: children learn from a fundamental movement skills program to support and develop their gross motor skills.

He enjoys going to Giraffe and has improved his language skills significantly since joining a year ago. Previously, we had a terrible experience at a different childcare centre where our child was hurt and we had to send him to the emergency hospital. For this reason, I was quite scared of sending him to childcare but the wonderfully professional and welcoming team at Giraffe helped my son, husband and I gain trust in childcare once again. At Giraffe I know my son is in reliable and caring hands. At Giraffe they don't use apps to update parents numerous times a day. Instead, newsletters and daily reports including photos are emailed or displayed. WHAT I LOVE MOST is that they have a very thick physical folder for each child where the educators record the child's detailed development, include countless photos and daily reports. In this digital age, I see great value in keeping a physical copy of my child's development (when he is older I can also show it to him too) . I would definitely recommend Giraffe to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, welcoming and caring childcare centre! The team is extremely hardworking and I am usually not a person to write many online reviews but their high quality of care must be applauded. I am so happy my child attends Giraffe. Read more
