What makes us different?

As a well-established 50-place Early Learning Centre with over 25 years of presence in the community, ELC Margaret River takes pride in its intimate setting, allowing us to truly know each child and appreciate their unique personalities. Our centre has three rooms being the Bindi Bindi room, Possum room, and Wombat room, each with dedicated key educators. However, what sets us apart is our commitment to ensuring that every educator forms a meaningful bond with every child, regardless of the room they're in.

We deeply value our educators, fostering continuity and stability for both children and families. Building strong relationships with our families is at the heart of what we do. It's not uncommon to find siblings, cousins, and family friends all part of our close-knit community.
