Our Centre

Nestled amongst the trees and away from the noise and pollution of busy roads, Seawinds Early Learning Centre provides a relaxed, natural and nurturing environment for all children. Our character-filled classrooms are well resourced and offer the perfect environment for children to play, develop and thrive.

By being a part of an integrated Community Hub and close to Eastbourne Primary School, Seawinds is proud to be able to support your child in developing a strong sense of belonging to both the centre and the broader community. Trained volunteers participate within the classrooms daily, again providing wonderful community connections across all age groups.

Our Programs

At Seawinds, programs are designed around the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF). Programs support the learning and development of all children, and are designed to ensure best possible outcomes for all.

Our teachers and educators develop high quality, play based, investigative programs that support the learning for the individual child, as well as the group. These programs are holistic, and recognise every child’s individual skill, talents and interests. They support the social, emotional and physical health and wellbeing of each child. The curriculum often incorporates external early childhood professionals visits into the educational program as a way of enriching your child’s learning and experience. These incursions may include areas such as music and drama.

Children also participate in activities outside the Centre, such as Library experiences at Eastbourne Primary School (across the driveway from Seawinds). A parent’s/ guardian’s written authorisation is required when children are to be taken outside. The team embraces and respects families and their individual structures, backgrounds and cultures.

We honour the child’s request to share celebrations with us at Seawinds, learn from each other, and celebrate a variety of important days of cultural significance.
