We have a full Kindy program on site, so the children can stay with us from birth until they start school.
-
Our Educational Program is based on the Early Years Learning Framework. This framework promotes learning through play-based experiences and supports the children’s emotional, social, physical and academic development.
Our Educational Program is prepared and delivered by our team of university qualified teachers, who hold a Bachelor or Masters degrees in Early Childhood teaching. The program is ‘lead’ and inspired by the children’s interests, which means it stimulates their imaginations, promotes development and prepares them for school.
We provide a complete Kindy program on site, children are able to stay with us from birth until they go to school.

We're the only Western Suburbs Childcare Centre (for children aged 0 to 6) to have been awarded an overall "Exceeding" rating under both the original National Quality Standards (2012 to 2018) AND the revised National Quality Standards (from February 2018 to 2024).
Childcare Services are re-assessed and re-rated by the Regulatory Authorities every few years.
Since the revised National Quality Standard was introduced in six years ago, more than 1,100 Childcare & Kindy Services across Western Australia have been assessed.
Only a handful of those Services (less than 5%) have achieved an overall Exceeding rating.
The vast majority of WA Kindy & Childcare Services that were rated overall Exceeding under the old Standard (ie Services that were rated before February 2018) have not managed to achieve that rating again when assessed against the NEW Revised Standard.
Dalkeith Early Learning Centre is the only Western Suburbs Childcare Centre (for children aged 0 to 6) to have been awarded an overall “Exceeding” rating under both the original National Quality Standards (from 2012 to 2018) AND the revised National Quality Standards (from February 2018 to 2024).
Particularly pleasing is the fact that we achieved a ‘perfect’ score and have been rated ‘Exceeding’ in every single Standard across all Quality Areas.

Why Choose Us?

“I have had both my children in other centres before, and while those centres were very good, none of them demonstrated such attention to the individual and differentiated needs of each child. X has thrived as a result and she is learning more and more every day.”
“The centre is always very clean and organised and the children always seem very comfortable and happy in their various spaces. The meals provided are excellent and the care and devotion of the staff to the children is exceptional.”
“It is a very clean and safe environment, has a wide range of toys and books, and it is lovely that it has a great outdoor space with trees and grass.
I highly recommend the team at Dalkeith ELC as they are extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and friendly…”“Welcoming, supportive, clean and extremely well thought out.
I feel great support raising my child from the staff here.”
