Nurturing young people to reach their full potential under Christ.

Early Learning Centre

 

Welcome to Covenant’s Early Learning Centre!

OPEN  DAYS

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 Camp Australia.

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.
