At Brooke Avenue Early Learning Centre our educators provide children with a preschool program that aims to ready them for their future education. We do this through incorporating aspects of language, literacy and numeracy into our curriculum, making learning fun and engaging.

To do this we develop our curriculum with the Early Years Learning Framework and Early Stage 1 NSW Syllabuses combined learning outcomes in mind.
