Primary Early Learning Centre

Our Centre

Trafalgar Primary Early Learning Centre strives to provide a friendly and open environment which is inclusive of all children and where families feel welcomed and valued.

We acknowledge the importance of forming successful relationships with children, families and the community which optimise positive outcomes for each child.

We provide a play-based learning environment that reflects the children’s interests and ideas, provides open ended and creative experiences and caters for children’s individual needs. Our environment is child focused, rich in a range of materials, resources and opportunities in which children can engage and excel as confident learners. 

Trafalgar Primary Early Learning Centre proudly displays the Kinder Tick to help families feel confident that our program is recognised as a funded kindergarten program and:

  • Is led by qualified staff
  • Children benefit from play-based learning
  • The kindergarten program is funded and approved by the Victorian Government
  • Our program complies with government guidelines and the National Quality Framework
