The Carlingford Multipurpose Learning Centre (CMPLC) has been a part of the Carlingford community since 1992. As a Private Childcare and Education Centre our aim is to provide a program of excellence in both quality care and early childhood education for children aged between two (2) and five (5) years. We are open from 7am - 6pm Monday to Friday.
All of our staff at CMPLC are committed to providing and maintaining a high quality early learning facility. Our Educators are highly experienced and dedicated to ensuring our educational program is comprehensive, based on the The Early Years Learning Framework and supported by our Chinese bilingual educators. Staff and management are childcare professionals with industry recognized and endorsed child care qualifications. Staff to children ratios are maintained at a high level to ensure that your children receive the best care, support and education. Children are placed in family groupings of mixed age and developmental stages. Eight (8) primary contact staff have observation based programs that cater for each child's individual developmental and educational needs.
We ensure relevant Government and industry accreditation is always maintained, ensuring your peace of mind that you are dealing with a professional facility. Whilst in our care your child's food and drinks are catered for. Our menu ensures that 50% of daily nutritional needs are provided.
The Centre invites special visitors into the Centre on a regular basis to perform and inform the children’s learning program. These include Cultural Performers, Musicians, Storytellers, Fire Engine visits from the local Fire Brigade, Animal/Insect shows/exhibits etc.
Additional Needs
Children with specific health, learning or behavioral needs are integrated into our program dependent on the availability and accessibility of resources to support their learning needs.
