Our expansive outdoor space provides children with the freedom to explore, play, and create lasting memories. As a single-level facility, we encourage children to engage in fun-filled activities, where they can get sandy, dirty, and enjoy every moment.
Our Out and About Program is designed with a priority focus on fostering children's understanding and participation within the local community. Additionally, we are conveniently located next to a beautiful reserve featuring a children's playground.
Throughout the year, we offer a variety of cultural and skill-based incursions tailored to the specific needs and interests of the children. Our Little Sports Heroes and Little Learners programs provide regular incursions that engage children across all age groups.
Each learning environment is guided by its own unique curriculum, which combines structured programs, spontaneous learning experiences, and opportunities for parent involvement.
Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
At our centre, we foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where parents and families feel comfortable and encouraged to become actively involved. We offer flexible hours and provide dedicated support for all children during drop-offs and when entering their learning environments.
We utilise Storypark to strengthen communication with families, inviting them to share photos and document aspects of their home and family life. This helps build a deeper connection between educators, children, and families.
In collaboration with our families and educators, we create meaningful celebrations that reflect our community and ensure that we are genuinely listening to and valuing the voices of our families.
Throughout the year, families are offered collaborative meetings with their child’s educators. These meetings provide an opportunity to set shared goals, celebrate achievements, and discuss additional ways to support each child’s growth and development.

As soon as I walked in the welcoming and warmth I felt while there during the tour. I didn't feel pressured or rushed to make my decision. The concept of learning through play really appealed to me. My daughter started when she was just over 4 months. I went back to work full-time. The communication is exceptional. The care, understanding, support my daughter and I receive and also feel from all the careers is exceptional. I believe I couldn't have made a better choice. I've seen in a short period of time how much my daughter has grown, developed and experienced. She has become a real character. Can't recommend them enough! Read more

The use of open-ended materials encourages children’s agency and autonomy, facilitating self-directed learning and discovery. The service also enhances learning through various incursions and strong community partnerships, providing children with diverse and engaging experiences that connect them to the broader world. Additionally, Alpina Early Learning incorporates a wide range of activities, including cooking, mosaicing, pottery, food work, and textile designs.

We acutally stumbled upon Alpina Street ELC on a walk and immediately saw that it was perfect to send our little one too. It was lovely to see the kids enjoying there time outside and even with our 9 month old she gets to enjoy the outdoors.
