Meraki Early Learning Centre Philosophy

At Meraki Early Learning Centre, we bring heart, creativity, and soul into everything we do. Our play-based learning environment nurtures children to be curious, confident, and truly themselves, while prioritising their safety and wellbeing above all else. We actively create environments that protect children from harm, promote their rights, and support their autonomy. Children’s voices guide our daily practices, programs, and decisions, ensuring they are heard, respected, and empowered to make choices about their learning and environment.

Testimonials

Caring, loving and kind – From the Management Team to the Educators, chef and staff; they are all passionate about the kids development and they take sincere interest in creating an inclusive, caring and safe environment for the children. I appreciate the regular updates we get throughout the day and the photos to see what our kids have been up to with they're friends. Long story short, my kids love it there and it has everything, if not more, that I look for in a childcare centre.

Thank you for all the care and love you give to the little ones and parents!

My son has thrived under the care and guidance of the wonderful staff at Meraki. Activities and learning opportunities are set up based on the children’s interest and every day is different! He enjoys the extra activities such as the music lessons, neighbourhood excursions and the many and varied incursions. It is great to be part of such a welcoming and caring community!

- Michelle

From the first day we toured, Meraki struck as a healthy, safe and stimulating environment for our child. All of the staff were friendly and provided both us as parents and our baby personalised attention. After visiting several facilities in the area we immediately felt like we had found our place so we started attending.

The centre has a wonderful respect and understanding for our child's individual uniqueness and is supportive of our family type. We are always welcomed, communication is excellent and there is a great sense of community.
Importantly the centre has stable and effective leadership which responds to my family’s needs and adapts well to ensure staffing is adequate and my child is never left behind.

Highly recommend.

Returning to work after having kids can be very overwhelming and stressful. The team at Meraki made this transition so much easier, just by being themselves.

My kids instantly felt welcomed and included, and they look forward to the activities and friends they have waiting for them.

As a parent, I know my kids are safe; they're eating delicious and nutritious food; and they're coming home happy.

This was the best decision we made for our family.

- Celeste

We have two children who have attended Meraki ELC, and are very happy with the level of care they receive. The centre is always well maintained with ever changing and age appropriate resources for the children to engage with, both inside and out. They have an amazing team of educators who are warm and positive in their interactions with the children and their families.

The level of communication we receive from the service management team is great, it keeps us informed about what's happening at the service and makes us feel a part of the Meraki community. I highly recommend Meraki ELC to any family looking for a safe and happy place for their little ones.
