Where children spread their wings and reach new heights!
At Berwick Twinklestar Early Learning Centre, we are passionate about providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to grow and thrive. Our mission is to support and develop your child's strengths and potential through a child-centered, emergent, collaborative teaching and learning environment inspired by nature and driven by children and families.
Our History
We've always wanted to have our very own childcare centre and have been searching for the right one for years. In early 2015, we came upon a little piece of heaven in the leafy suburb of Berwick. Since then, we've put all our work and effort into building a safe and interactive learning environment for children. We've always been passionate about childcare and teaching, and we knew this place would give us the chance to practice what we know best - care, patience, and compassion. And that's how Berwick Twinklestar Early Learning Centre was brought to life.
Our Philosophy
Berwick Twinklestar Early Learning Centre's unique philosophy recognizes the benefits of providing a holistic learning experience for our children in a caring, enriching environment supported by skilled, knowledgeable, and passionate Educators who value families and the community. We believe in creating a safe haven where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
Our Services
We offer a range of services designed to cater to the needs of children from 3 months to 5 years old, as well as before and after-school care for children up to 12 years old. Our programs are designed to meet each child's developmental needs and celebrate them as individuals. We have carefully crafted our programs to incorporate your child's current interests, skills, and knowledge, and we ensure that learning is fun, relaxed, and primarily constructed through play.
What Sets Us Apart
At Berwick Twinklestar Early Learning Centre, we pride ourselves on being a family-oriented daycare that prioritizes personalized care and attention. We use Qikkids Journey, an app that allows teachers and parents to interact and discuss a child's performance and behavior. We also practice an open-door policy, encouraging parents to get involved in the centre's activities. Our experienced and dedicated staff are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment that fosters growth, development, and learning.
