Cedars Early Learning Centre (ELC) offers a critical early learning advantage for 3 - 5 year olds via an intentional, well researched and specialised approach to early learning.

By enrolling your child at ELC, your child will have a significant head start before they commence 'big' school. 

Because at Cedars, we provide more than a secure environment for the intellectual, physical and spiritual development of your child - we’re also providing as part of our regular curriculum, speech therapy, occupational therapy and psychology specialists.

We strive to give all of our Prep students, the strongest possible start by building core competencies that are critical to their development through language, communication, and fine motor skills. They’re foundational skills to take them forward in life. And as we do, it results in giving little lives, a very big advantage for their years ahead. And as they do, they’ll be impacting the world around them.
