Early Years
The “First 1000 Days” ethos underpins the education and care we provide our children at the Northern Bay College Early Learning Centre.
At Northern Bay College we are honoured to be able to offer children a high quality program in our beautiful centre that supports each child’s social, emotional, and educational journey. We aim to help build a community of confident learners who each contribute to their world.
For more information on our Centre, the Values and Philosophy that underpin how the centre is governed, please contact the Family Learning Centre or see our Early Learning Centre Handbook 2026.
Childcare Service
We provide a caring and nurturing long day care program for children from 6 weeks to 6 years old. Our hours of operation are from 7:30am to 5:30pm. We have a beautiful outdoor space featuring gardens and chickens where each child is supported to develop into a contributing member of their community and takes responsibility for taking care of their space.
Funded Kindergarten
We offer a state funded sessional kindergarten program for 3 year old and 4 year old children. Our program operates from Monday – Thursday from 9:00am-2:00 pm. We receive school readiness funding that supports our dedicated language/communication focus. You can find out more information by calling our Centre Director on (03) 5224 9784.
Our goal is to create a nurturing, play-based learning environment where your child feels supported to grow, explore, and thrive. We value the strong partnership between families, educators, and the wider community, working together to support each child’s development and foster a lifelong love of learning.
