Mary Rice Early Learning Centre is a distinguished educational institution that prioritizes partnership, independence, mutual trust, and respect in its approach to learning and care. With a focus on individual achievement and collaboration, the centre caters to children from 6 weeks to Kindergarten across 9 beautifully appointed rooms designed for different age groups. The facility boasts shared performance spaces, an art studio, library, demonstration kitchen, and outdoor areas that foster creativity and imagination.
Established after a thorough feasibility study, Mary Rice Early Learning Centre underwent significant renovations in 2020 to transform the space into a nurturing environment for children. Located within the Nudgee College Campus, the centre operates independently while benefiting from the established educational facilities and community on-site. Governed by EREA (Edmund Rice Education Australia), the centre follows a play-based learning philosophy to enhance early childhood education outcomes and provide a holistic learning experience for all children.
Aligned with the mission of providing excellence in early childhood education and care, Mary Rice Early Learning Centre is guided by an Advisory Group comprising experts from the educational and commerce sectors. This group supports the development and implementation of strategies that uphold the centre’s commitments, philosophy, and mission. Emphasizing respect, play, and community, Mary Rice Early Learning Centre stands out as a special place dedicated to nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning.
