Bomaderry Learning Centre is a new and innovative pre-school learning centre, ‘specialising in your child’s preparedness for school’. This is where Intentional Early Childhood Teaching and Play-Based Learning come together to form a sophisticated and well developed educational program. Our experiences are well planned and purposeful, incorporating modern learning technology and the natural environment with an early childhood teacher on premises at all times. By providing preschoolers with this form of learning we build strong, confident, prepared children who are ready to take on ‘big school’ environments.
Bomaderry Learning Centre is a specialised Long Day Care service open from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday to Friday with only 20 placements per day for children aged 3-5+ years. We are certificate for approval for the purposes of child care benefit (CCB) so fees are affordable for all families. Bomaderry Learning Centre recommends and promotes nutritional meals and snacks. Children need to bring their own morning/afternoon tea and lunch from home.
The Director and Educational Leader is Ms Dianna Blackie, who holds a Bachelor of Education Early Childhood (4yrs trained) and Associate Diploma in Social Science Child Studies (2yrs trained and has worked in the educational field for over 15 years.
