Why MinnowsELC?

How a Minnows Education can support you and your child?

Our stimulating environment supports and nurtures a lifelong love of learning where children can thrive.

A welcoming diverse and inclusive community to be a part of.

Inquiry based learning led by children’s discoveries and interests are the cornerstone of their learning.

We understand that families are a child’s first teacher and we are partners in guiding children’s love of learning.

We foster a connection to the natural world and children learn to care for the environment.

A curriculum guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Framework, the Education and Care Services National Regulations and the Aboriginal 8 Way of Learning.
