Welcome to Indigo Early Learning Centre

We are inspired toย offer you and your child the best education and care with a strong focus on holistic education,ย play and sustainable practices. We encourage your children to explore and develop curiosity and independence through creative play and meaningful hands-on learning opportunities. We encourage children to make connections with their natural worldย through 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.

“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.”
