Search light early learning centre
At the Search Light Early Learning Centre, we empower young families by creating an inclusive community where every child belongs, learns, and grows towards a bright future.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to a quality early education that is accessible, inclusive, and tailored to their individual needs.
We provide high-quality, inclusive early childhood education and care, and family support services, tailored to the needs of young families.
Our centre offers a play-based curriculum. We believe that child directed, voluntary, internally motivated, fun, learning experiences allow for children to learn more effectively, and just as importantly, develop a lifelong love for learning.
Our staff are highly qualified, holding Diploma-level qualifications, and bring extensive experience in supporting young families navigating complex life challenges.
