Harbour Early Learning

Harbour EL provides an exceptional level of early learning for children from birth to five years. Meaningful, inclusive curricula to enrich every child’s learning has been developed by highly qualified early childhood teachers, educators and advisors. Our inspiring indoor and outdoor spaces have been curated by Australia’s leading architectural, interior and play space designers. Harbour EL is privately owned and operated by young families who have a deep appreciation of the importance of early learning in shaping our children. We endeavour to provide each child with the best opportunity to grow and learn in an early learning environment that is unique in design and philosophy. The Harbour EL team are respected and trusted early learning experts who ensure we are at the forefront of early learning thinking, research and innovation. Our team of early childhood teachers, educators and advisors have been instrumental in establishing the pedagogy, curriculum and programs. Specialised educational programs utilising outdoor spaces, supported by exceptional nutritional advice ensures the ‘whole child’ is enveloped in the care provided. We consider ourselves privileged to nurture and guide children in their foundational early learning journey and watching their growth and development. “At Harbour EL, we believe children have the right to an identity that is shaped from their early life experiences and their efforts to make sense of the world they share with others, be they experiences with others, or the experiences they can share through living on the land or by exploring the sea and the air. Children have a responsibility to uphold the rights of others and to grow in their understanding of being respectful of self and others and to grow in their understanding of being respectful of self and others, of being loved and shown kindness in order to love and to be kind to all others."
