Welcome to Indigo Early Learning Centre

We are inspired to offer you and your child the best education and care with a strong focus on holistic education, play and sustainable practices. Your children will be encouraged to explore and develop curiosity and independence through creative play and meaningful hands-on learning opportunities. By providing plenty of outdoor all-weather outdoor play and by actively involving children in real life experiences including caring for animals, cooking and growing foods and other plants, we encourage children to make connections with their natural world.

 

  A beautiful note from one of our Indigo Swim      families

Swimming lessons can be so hard to get to throughout the week with either having to sacrifice a Saturday morning or attemtping to do an evening class with tired kids. Indigo Swim program means we can tick the swimming lesson box without it eating into our valuable family time.

We have also found that our child has progressed quite quickly- we are assuming this is becuase they are more familiar with their swimming teacher (same teacher as their classroom teacher) and they are also familiar with the kids in their class. I also like that the swim classes are grouped with an awarenesss of kids friendships and group dynamics meaning less distraction and more time to concentrate on swimming- a win win.

Celebrating Success: Our Awards

“Children need to be given opportunity to be children. Children need to be given opportunity to play. Children need to be able to play for large blocks of uninterrupted time so they can meaningfully engage with the environment around them.” - Indigo Early Learning Centre

We are a Yoga and Mindfullness Accredited Service

Indigo has undergone extensive yoga and mindfulness training with the wonderful Kathryn from A Mindful Start . Knowledge gained from this training has helped us to create a place of freedom, happiness and flexibility for the Indigo community.

We strongly believe in the value in implementing daily yoga sessions with children and the concept of teaching mindfullness is strongly embedded in our daily events.
