Where Will Your Children Go With St Clare?

The St Clare Group of Early Education and Care centres has grown from a passionate group of dedicated educators who all believe that caring for your child each day is the very start of our important role in the early stages of their lives.

We focus on learning to socialise with new friends, learning to grow and develop through play and activity, learning how to help with meals and eating, and learning how to count, read and write. Most importantly, we teach learning about our cultural diversities and how we all coexist in this world together.

Every aspect of our programs is about teaching children the joy of learning, so we can support their development and prepare them for their primary school years. If you would like to see where your children could go, contact us.
