About Us
At Songbird Early Learning Centre, we believe every child deserves a nurturing and inspiring environment where they feel safe to explore, grow, and thrive.
Our approach is deeply rooted in play-based learning and inspired by the principles of the Reggio Emilia philosophy—encouraging curiosity, creativity, and a strong sense of self. Each learning experience is guided by the interests and ideas of the children, allowing them to grow at their own pace in a space that celebrates individuality and fosters meaningful connections.
Led by a passionate and caring team of educators, we’re proud to offer a safe, inclusive and family-oriented environment where every child is known, valued and supported. At Songbird, we don’t just prepare children for school—we prepare them for life.

Our philosophy
At Songbird Early Learning Centre, we believe that every child has the potential to soar. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. We are dedicated to fostering respect, inclusivity, and a love for learning, ensuring that every child feels valued and supported.
Our vision is to be a place where children can spread their wings and fly, reaching their fullest potential. We aim to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning in every child who comes through our doors, preparing them for a bright and successful future.
We believe that “children learn and develop best through play” and “childhood is a special time just for children”. Our philosophy is based on our dedication to provide a home style environment for children, where “children can be children”. We strongly value the rights of children to have time to explore their world and we believe in following a play-based curriculum where relationships between children and their educators are secure and respectful.
– “Play is the leading activity of children” – Dewey.
We believe in creating an environment where each child feels a sense of belonging and identity, holistically catering to children’s needs and provide spaces to encourage the development of regulating these, respecting each child as an individual and spending the time to listen to them and allow opportunity for their knowledge to be shared, providing rich opportunities for being outdoors in the natural environment and promoting environmentally sustainable practices.
