Programs & Learning

Play-based programs that nurture curiosity, confidence and connection, at every age

Learning Through Play

At Adelaide Early Learning, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported and genuinely engaged. Our programs are play-based, child-led and thoughtfully guided by experienced educators who understand that learning happens through relationships, exploration and everyday moments.

Nursery (6 weeks – 2 years)

Our nursery provides a calm, nurturing space for your baby’s earliest learning experiences.

Through gentle care, sensory play, and secure relationships, our educators support development in communication, movement, and emotional wellbeing — building confidence and trust from day one.

Toddler (2-3 years)

Toddlers are natural explorers. Our toddler program encourages independence and discovery through hands-on learning, music, movement, and imaginative play.

Educators guide children to develop language, social skills, and problem-solving in a supportive, engaging environment

3-Year-Old Kindergarten

Our 3-year-old kindergarten program inspires creativity and curiosity through play-based learning.

With caring educators and thoughtfully designed environments, children develop friendships, emotional awareness, and a sense of belonging while exploring early literacy and numeracy.

4-Year-Old Kindergarten

Designed to prepare children for school, our 4-year-old kindergarten program fosters independence, confidence, and readiness. Children explore more complex concepts through play, inquiry, and project-based learning while strengthening literacy, numeracy, and social skills.

Our daily fees vary depending your child’s age, and the days attended.

From 5 January, changes to the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) mean the activity test is removed, and all eligible families will receive a minimum of three days of subsidised care per week (the 3-day guarantee). Additional subsidised hours may still apply depending on family income and circumstances.

To help you estimate your fees:

  • Visit StartingBlocks.gov.au – Early Childhood Education & Care for general information about early learning and care
  • Use the Child Care Subsidy Calculator on StartingBlocks.gov.au to estimate your CCS and weekly costs
  • Apply for CCS through myGov / Centrelink (we’re happy to help guide you through this process if needed)

For personalised fee information and to learn more about what’s included, we encourage families to book a tour so our team can talk through fees, inclusions and CCS in more detail.
