Nurturing young people to reach their full potential under Christ.
Early Learning Centre
Welcome to Covenant’s Early Learning Centre!
Bring your little one and experience with them the opportunities and adventures that await at our Preschool.
You will enjoy indoor and outdoor activities together, games, meet our staff, explore our facilities, and discover how we can partner with you in your child’s education.
Bookings are essential and younger siblings are welcome.
Our architecturally designed, purpose-built Early Learning Centre caters to preschool-aged children (4-5 year olds).
Open up to 50 weeks per year from 7am – 6pm, the Centre is approved for the Child Care Subsidy for eligible families. Parents may select the Preschool Program only (8:45am – 3:15pm) or Long Day Care options, including Vacation Care.
The Preschool program is run by our dedicated Christian staff, and the out-of-school hours care is provided by YWCA Canberra.
The unique feature of Covenant’s preschool curriculum is that it delivers the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) with a core Bible curriculum which forms the central trunk from which the various activities stem.
Our staff, all committed Christians, love to share with the children the joy and wonder of God’s world and Word as they lay a solid preparation for the Primary years.
With a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood, Julie has extensive experience in Early Learning, leadership, administration and Christian Education in both Primary School and Preschool settings. Having recently returned to Canberra following 10 years as Principal of Torrens Valley Christian School in Adelaide, Julie joined the team as ELC Director at the start of Term 2, 2023.
*Additional fees apply for excursions and in-house special events (incursions) during Vacation Care to cover costs such as entry fees and bus hire. These fees are also subject to government rebates.
Out-of-Hours care (OSHC) for Covenant Christian School is run by YWCA Canberra.
