About us
Where Tradition Meets Excellence
Childcare Services are re-assessed and re-rated by the Regulatory Authorities every few years. There are currently around 1,500 childcare and kindy services across Western Australia, and fewer than 4% have earned an “Exceeding” rating.
Dalkeith Early Learning Centre is the only Western Suburbs service for children aged 0–6 to have achieved the Exceeding rating every single time we’ve been assessed — three times in a row, most recently in September 2025.
Known in the community for our strong reputation and word-of-mouth referrals, we are a boutique service in a heritage building with small groups and a well-established team of educators.
Families value our warm, traditional environment, continuity of care, and commitment to genuine early childhood values.
Join our waitlist today so we can invite you for a tour and show you why Dalkeith ELC is trusted by generations of local families.
“At Dalkeith ELC, excellence is not a goal — it’s a tradition.”
At Dalkeith Early Learning Centre,
every child is truly known.
We offer age-specific care & learning for every stage
Nursery
We welcome newborns and young babies. Small groups create a calm, nurturing atmosphere, where babies can settle more easily and form early bonds with both carers and peers.
Toddlers
Toddlers are learning to explore, communicate, and grow independent. Small groups give toddlers the freedom to discover new skills with the reassurance that educator support is always close at hand.
Kindy
We have a full Kindy program on site, so the children can stay with us from birth until they start school. In small groups, our kindy children are supported to express themselves, practice cooperation, and form genuine friendships.
Young children can feel overwhelmed in large groups.
That’s why we limit our groups to approx. 10 babies, 15 toddlers and 15 kindy children each day.
Why us?
We’ve reimagined childcare as a boutique, personalised experience.
We offer:
Beautiful Spaces
Our boutique Centre has been thoughtfully designed and equipped to meet the expectations of local families.
Healthy Meals
Our qualified Cooks make all meals fresh each day. We cater for all dietary requirements.
Year-Round Care
Unlike many Kindy & Childcare Services, we are open every week of the year, and only close on weekends & Public Holidays.
Real Gardens
We have large real gardens, where children can really play.

Feedback from S.
“I highly recommend the team at Dalkeith ELC as they are extremely professional, courteous, and friendly…”
Feedback from S.
“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.”
