Stringybark Child Care and Learning Centre

Welcome to Stringybark Learning Centre!

Stringybark has been educating and caring for children for the past 39 years. Our features are:

• long-serving team
• A nutritious, delicious meal
• Early intervention services offered
• Diversity and multiculturalism celebrated
• Family-owned and operated service.
• We provide an inquiry-based learning environment where educators are co-creators with the children as we discover and investigate the world around us. 
• The aim of our program is to present children with challenging experiences in a beautiful environment. We respect the rights of children to be able to learn in a warm and supportive environment. We challenge children intellectually, socially, and physically by engaging with them on their own level and at their own pace.
• Our play-based learning program includes carefully planned, well-resourced activities that are guided by the children's interests and developmental stages. In the past, some of our interests and projects have focused on things like the roles people play in our community, dinosaurs, marine life, and international holidays. Play dough, sand play, obstacle courses, messy arts and crafts, outdoor games, unstructured free play, painting, cooking, singing, building with blocks and construction toys, sharing rhymes and songs'—the list of daily activities is endless.
• In the preschool room, we focus on developing the skills that children need to become lifelong learners. Stringybark educators are highly trained to educate and nurture the children in the preschool room, especially those who are transitioning to big school the following year. The program allows children to explore as they become critical thinkers. The children in this age group love to engage in conversations, and our educators take the time to encourage them to express themselves.
