At Learning Ladder, we are committed to building a culturally inclusive community. Our philosophy is simple… EVERY CHILD COUNTS!!
At Learning Ladder, we endeavour to meet all the possible needs of the children in our care. We aim to achieve this by providing a caring, safe, supportive, warm, happy and stimulating learning environment in our state-of-the-art child care centre.
We encourage all children to actively explore their environment and support them to form and develop trusting relationships with other children and educators. We strongly promote numerous opportunities for play. We believe play is valuable in every aspect of a child’s development and recognise the importance of children being actively involved and engaged in a variety of learning experiences. We believe a child’s learning should be supported and encouraged through positive interactions and discussions with the child’s family on a regular basis.
We believe it is important to be aware of diversity and multiculturalism within the community in which we live. We aim to reflect diversity throughout our Centre, as well as in our programming. We feel that providing daily experiences will help to support this.
We strongly believe that early childhood education is the foundation of a child’s future. We believe that all children should be treated with equality, and their cultural diversity embraced and acknowledged.
We also strive to perform in all areas of what we do in order to continue to be recognised as one of Melbourne’s best child care centres.

Age & individually appropriate care & education
Whether your child is six weeks or six years old, our Teachers and Educators are always observing – working to understand your child’s individual traits, likes and motivations. This means they’re better able to find what lights up each child’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
Encourage learning and physical development through play
Learning through play is one of the most important ways children learn and develop. Active play using large and small muscles such as climbing, running, ball games, digging, jumping, and dancing. This supports children’s overall health and sense of wellbeing, physical growth
