Dorothy Waide Centre For Early Learning

Welcome to Dorathy Waide Centre for Early Learning

We at Dorothy Waide are blessed to have today’s children become our future. Through the Early Years. Learning Framework (EYLF), our philosophy and program acknowledge that the Early Years are such an important time in children’s lives. We believe children are successful, competent and capable learners who are given opportunities to construct, understand, contribute and reflect on their own learning and on the learning of others. We as educators see ourselves as co-learners; as children learn, so do we. We aim to give children a voice by encouraging them to work collaboratively and participate in decisions that affect them, their families, our centre and the wider community.

The Quality Improvement Plan (QIP)

GCP has provided my daughter with a beautiful start to her learning journey.

The approachable teacher has given her the best care and abundance of opportunity to learn not just textbook stuff but life long lessons of friendship, care and creative thinking.

I am so thankful of all the teachers and management for the work they do

Manjot

DWC has helped us raise our 3 boys, and we have been involved with the centre for the last 10 years.

The care, love, support and sense of community that the centre has given us and our children has nurtured them through their early years.

My children have all loved going to daycare every day to their ‘other family’! I can’t speak more highly of the teaching staff at the centre, and would highly recommend to anyone’

Jasmine

My son and our family is just new and recently started at Central Pre-school and we are so very pleased and happy since day one he had attended.

He has so much confidence and is always looking forward to being at school.

Thanks for your very energetic, confident, accommodating, friendly and always smiling staff.

The ambience and atmosphere are very lively and welcoming for the kids which my husband and I love the most.

Honestly, I never had a second thought the first time a left my son with your very caring staff. I have peace of mind knowing he is well taken care of.

Keep up the excellent service and more power to your team’.

Cecillia &Luther

We entrusted our twin girls into the Dorothy Waide family when they were 16 months old and were so impressed with how easily the girls adapted and instantly loved attending the centre.

It was me who would be a crying wreck at drop off, the girls were more than happy to go off with the educators and find wonderful spots to play & other little people to interact with. We feel that the girls have grown so much since being at the centre in terms of the way they interact with others & the way they see the world around them.

All the educators we have come across, have been incredible and we have always found everyone to be open & honest with us at all times.

We now look forward to continuing our journey with the Dorothy Waide Centre as the girls embark on their preschool learning experience at Griffith Central Preschool’ .
