Sacred Heart

Sacred Heart Early Learning Centre is located next to Sacred Heart College in Pedder Street, New Town and provides a caring learning environment for children aged 1-5 years. Sacred Heart Early Learning Centre offers a smaller, family grouped environment where educators are able to form strong bonds with families and the children in their care. The service provides a warm, home like atmosphere where siblings can be together throughout the day.

The home like environment that our service offers allows children of mixed age groups to learn from each other, extending language skills, confidence, independence and resilience, as older children role model and inspire the younger children. Educators are committed to supporting children to grow and learn from and with each other.

Sacred Heart Outside School Hours Care, including Before School, After School and Vacation Care operates from Sacred Heart College, New Town.
