About us
What we do
Belmore Child Care
Leylands Learning Centre is a family-owned long day care centre located on 8 Leylands Pde, Belmore NSW 2192. We cater for children from 6 weeks to 6 years old to the local community of Belmore, Campsie, Lakemba, Roselands and other surrounding suburbs.
We believe the early childhood years to be the most important years in a child’s life. These years are the time the brain develops and much of its “wiring” is established. Providing responsive, nurturing and stimulating experiences establish the wiring of the brain connections. Children who are well supported and nurtured physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually will develop a multitude of neural connections that will serve them well throughout their life course. With this important belief in mind, we aim to provide high quality childcare services to children under our care.
The centre is an approved Childcare Centre by the NSW Department of Education. Parents can claim for Australian Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS) through our service. We are also a registered provider of the NSW Inclusion Support Program.
Our Philosophy:
Children come first
We believe every child has the right to feel safe, respected and supported. Children’s wellbeing and dignity guide our decisions and everyday practice.
Everyone belongs
We believe all children and families should feel welcomed and valued. We respect diversity in culture, language, identity, ability and family life, and we work to create an inclusive community where each child can thrive.
Families are our partners
We believe families know their children best. We build relationships based on trust, openness and shared responsibility, and we welcome families’ voices in our service and our program.
Play is how children learn
We believe children learn through play. Play supports curiosity, creativity, relationships, confidence and self-regulation, and it is central to how we plan and teach.
Follow the child
We believe learning grows from children’s interests, strengths and lived experiences. We pay attention to what children show us and use this to guide intentional, thoughtful experiences.
Keep getting better
We believe quality comes from reflection and teamwork. We listen, learn, and improve so our practice stays consistent, purposeful and responsive to our community.
