The thoughtfully designed educational program is challenging, enlightening, and tailored to each child’s unique qualities and paces.

Gratitude
感恩

The year before school begins is an incredibly important milestone for your child, as they begin the transition into a structured routine and a more formal learning environment.

Starting school is a big transition for children and families, and it is just as important that your child is prepared emotionally for this change. Our fully qualified Bachelor trained Educators will prepare your child with the cognitive, emotional and social skills they need to handle any challenge regarding this event.

Tzu Chi Early Learning Centre - Reading

“My daughter has been attending Tzu Chi for nearly a year. The centre isn’t close to our home, so we were a bit hesitant at first. However, since she began her journey at Tzu Chi, we have become more and more certain that we made the best decision for our child. The educators are compassionate, patient, and dedicated to instilling good manners and values in the children. Even during her settling-in period, I felt at ease dropping her off each day, knowing she was in caring hands. Also, we have witnessed significant growth and development in our daughter.”

“Tzu Chi Early Learning Centre has been an incredible place for our child’s early education! From the very first day, we felt welcomed by the warm and caring educators who truly go above and beyond to support each child’s development. The centre fosters a nurturing environment where children learn not only academics but also important values like kindness, mindfulness, and respect. Our child has grown so much in confidence, social skills, and early literacy since joining. The play-based learning approach keeps them engaged and excited to go to school every day. We also appreciate the strong communication from the educators, keeping us informed about daily activities and progress. The facilities are always clean, safe, and well-organized, creating the perfect environment for young learners. We are so grateful to be part of the Tzu Chi community and highly recommend this centre to any parent looking for a loving and high-quality early learning experience!”
