Early Learning Centre
Northcote Point Community Creche
About Us
We provide education and care for children aged one to five years.
Our dedicated team of qualified and experienced early childhood teachers create a welcoming learning environment to grow and learn in.
We provide a loving home away from home that makes respect
and inclusion the priority for all.
With a maximum roll of 25 children each day, our low ratios and small group size ensures high quality attentive teaching and care that suits each child’s unique learning needs.
Our beautiful heritage building is a treasured part of the local community
and has been our home since 1984.
Our Story
We have a long association with Northcote Point, our history reaches back to 1981when we originated as a coffee group, meeting in local homes and then later the War Memorial Hall.
By 1984 the group had moved into the historic Council Chambers/Library (our current location) and was granted permission to operate as a creche.
Over time the creche gradually grew to meet the changing needs of its community becoming and licenced Early Learning Centre. The City Council has given continued support by allowing the use of our beautiful heritage building which provides a secure place for children to play, learn and have fun.
