Tropics Early Learning is a not-for-profit, community-run long day care centre based in the northern suburbs of Malak. We care for up to 90 children between 6 weeks and 5 years daily. We are open Monday to Friday 7:00am-6.00pm. Our centre is a warm and inviting and we work in partnership with our families to ensure the best outcomes for all children. The service uses the Early Years Learning framework (EYLF) to implement individual programs for each child. We have a range of engaging indoor and outdoor spaces to allow children to explore and learn in their own space at their own pace and time. WE LOVE PLAY!! Children should be taught how to think, not what to think and through play they gain the skills to explore, investigate, research, create and imagine! The children learn their capabilities through risk taking and also gain confidence in their environment. Our role as educators is to scaffold this learning, planning for development and providing guidance for the children. We believe in respecting our environment and that embedding sustainable practices will foster a generation who will respect and care for their world around them.
