Benowa Early Learning Centre

Newcastle Child Care lists Benowa Early Learning Centre in Benowa, who continued to provide excellent Before School Care care, education and support for the children and their families of Benowa Australia.

Benowa Early Learning Centre, located at 15 Sapium Road, across the road from the Bellevue Park School, is on the border of Ashmore, Benowa and Southport.

The Centre began nearly 20 years ago, when we converted the old “Surround Lodge” Racing Stable into what is now Benowa Early Learning Centre.  Kylie Alldridge, our Director, and quite a few of our current staff have been with us since that time.  Many of the girls came to the Centre straight from school and are now married with children of their own who have attended or who currently attend the Centre.  The owner,  Jennifer Balson, came from a teaching career herself therefore understanding just how important those early years of child development are.

Now, more than ever, society recognizes that learning begins way before our children first walk through those school gates.  Your child begins the learning process even before he/she is born.  We, at Benowa Early Learning Centre, feel privileged to share in this process.  We also recognise the responsibility we have to ensure your child’s day, whilst at kindy, is as meaningful in all ways as we can make it.  Should he/she show an interest in something specific, we try to observe that interest and work with them to develop it.  We try to encourage their helpful, caring, developing relationships with other children in the centre and with the staff.  We try to help them manage their emotions and behaviour in a way which encourages helpful interaction with others.
