St Mary's Primary OSHC

Child Care Find lists St Mary's Primary OSHC in Darwin City, who continued to provide excellent In Home Care care, education and support for the children and their families of Darwin City Australia.

St Mary’s Community of Learners provides quality early learning and long day care for children aged 3-5 years in a Catholic environment.  Our early learning centre also offers a “Kangaroos” program for four year olds commencing school the following year. This program is a play based program run by a Qualified Early Childhood Teacher which prepares children for the transition between the Early Learning environment and school.

Our early learning program is based on the Early Years Learning Framework, ‘Belonging, Being and Becoming’.  We believe that all aspects of the development of young children are interrelated. The optimal development of a young child depends on the nurturing of positive, supportive and individual relationships with both adults and peers. Our staff engage children in and encourage a collaborative approach to learning to ensure the best possible outcomes for all children.

Parents are encouraged to spend time in the centre with their children. To ensure we provide the highest quality care and education, we follow established guidelines, policies and procedures, inspired by early learning theorists including Reggio Emilio, Piaget, Vygotsky and Montessori.
