Childcare West Ryde

At Ryde Early Learning Centre, we work hard to create a safe and friendly space where your child can learn and grow. Easily reached via Victoria Rd/A40 or Blaxland Rd, our centre is designed with busy families in mind, offering a stress-free and pleasant experience for daily drop-offs and pick-ups.

A Home for Young Learners 

Our approach is simple. We follow the Early Years Learning Framework to design activities that are playful, creative and supportive of every aspect of your child’s development. Our focus is on hands-on, fun experiences that help little ones build their skills at their own pace.

  • Caring and Skilled Educators Our team is made up of experienced and passionate teachers who work closely with you. They plan the activities and learning journeys based on what excites your child, ensuring that each session is tailored to develop curiosity and confidence. 
  • A Well-Rounded Curriculum We offer a balanced mix of activities that cover early literacy, numeracy, creative arts, physical play and social skills. By combining structured learning with the freedom for spontaneous exploration, our curriculum supports every child’s overall growth. 
  • Safety Is Our Priority Your child’s security is very important to us. Our premises are equipped with up-to-date security systems and we adhere to strict health and safety guidelines. We maintain a high standard of hygiene, so you know your child is always in safe hands. 
  • Community Connection At our centre, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. We work actively to build a strong sense of community with regular family events and activities that welcome everyone. This helps create lasting connections that support both children and their families. 

Our Programmes 

We offer tailored programmes for different age groups to ensure every stage of early childhood is supported: 

  • Infant Care For our youngest learners, we provide a warm and nurturing setting that meets the needs of their routines. We respect home schedules for feeding and resting to make sure infants feel comfortable and secure. 
  • Toddler Learning Our toddler programme is all about discovery and growing independence. By offering a mix of group activities, guided play and free exploration, we help toddlers learn social skills, boost self-confidence and encourage practical routines like toilet training. 
  • Preschool Preparation For preschoolers, our curriculum is designed to prepare them for primary school. We focus on basic literacy and numeracy, problem-solving and building independence while encouraging cooperation and concentration – all supported by active parent participation.
