The Center is dedicated to hiring educators who are deeply committed to providing exceptional care and education to children within a Centre Based setting. Our team comprises qualified educators who hold nationally recognized qualifications or are actively working towards achieving these qualifications. It's noteworthy that approximately 80% of our educators possess Diploma or higher qualifications, reflecting our commitment to quality education. Furthermore, all our educators are required to hold a current Working with Vulnerable People Card, and qualified educators must maintain a current approved First Aid Certificate (HLTAID012). This ensures the safety and well-being of our children while they are in our care. In our pursuit of excellence, the Center closes for one day each year to facilitate Professional Development. This day is an opportunity for every educator to actively engage in professional growth, further building their skills, practice, and experience. We place a strong emphasis on ongoing learning to ensure our educators remain at the forefront of best practices in early childhood education.

​

We also take great pride in our commitment to maintaining healthy educator-to-child ratios. Our approach allows us to offer individualized attention and care, creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for our children.

At our Center, your child's learning environments are designed to be engaging, inviting, and truly exceptional. These spaces are thoughtfully equipped with natural, sustainable, and high-quality materials that encourage exploration and play. We take pride in providing an indoor/outdoor curriculum throughout the year, allowing children the freedom to choose their preferred play environment. 

​

Moreover, our classrooms extend into a nature reserve and bushland, offering regular nature walks that allow children to connect with the natural world. These walks are not just an exploration of the outdoors; they are integral to our high-quality program. 

​

We place special emphasis on outdoor play, as it offers children a unique opportunity to comprehend their world through experiences like observing animals and wildlife. This enriching interaction with nature helps children develop an understanding of their place and impact within their surroundings, promoting a sense of environmental stewardship from a young age. Our commitment to providing these opportunities within a quality program and environment ensures a holistic and enriching learning experience for your child.

The Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) diligently oversees all early childhood programs to ensure they align with rigorous national standards. We are proud to share that in 2025, Woden Valley Early Learning Centre underwent a comprehensive Assessment and Rating process and was awarded an Exceeding rating in all seven Quality Areas.

​

This outstanding result demonstrates our unwavering commitment to providing the highest standards of education, care, and practice for children and families.
