Long Day Care
As the first and longest-running childcare in the area, we are very proud to be serving the Whittlesea community for nearly 30 years! Located in the heart of Whittlesea, our centre offers quality Long Day Care as well as an independent Kindergarten program you can trust.
Our Philosophy
As a community and not-for-profit organisation, we believe that every child deserves access to a quality early childhood education. That's why the Sparkways Early Learning Whittlesea team are always striving to enrich the lives and identities of every child and family, with the aim to promoting each child’s sense of 'belonging, being, and becoming'.
Recognising that all children are individuals with their own unique learning styles, our play-based program has been carefully crafted to cater to each child's personal learning style. Based on the Early Years Framework, Whittlesea educators are constantly engaging children with spontaneous, open-ended, play-based, and natural opportunities to foster a lifelong love for learning.
We also believe that it is important to support and advocate for families within our centre. We value and respect the fact that our families are the most important people in their children’s lives and we always encourage parents and guardians to contribute their ideas, interests, and questions to our program.
As the first and longest-running childcare in the area, we also have deep roots and a long history of working with and supporting the local community, with relationships that extend beyond the walls of the centre.
