Our Centre
Nestled in a quiet residential street in Albany lives a magical place for babies, toddlers and young children – our Bear Park Infant and Toddler Centre and Preschool.
Our learning spaces encourage imagination, explorations and a variety of learning opportunities for our children. Babies aged between 3-12 months are cared for in a separate intimate, cosy space with no more than six children accommodated at one time, cared for by two highly experienced teachers who delight in working with our littlest members. Toddlers and older children are free to experiment and explore within richly resourced environments, like our ever-evolving herb and vegetable garden: a place where children can have access to the wonders of the natural world. Through carefully planned and open-ended learning experiences, each child can feel supported in a learning journey unique to them.
With our excellent child-teacher ratios, our well-established community relationships and our committed and passionate team, Bear Park Albany is a centre filled with wonder, wellbeing and a strong sense of belonging.
