Our Centres
At The Village Co - ELC, both of our centres provide high-quality early learning for children aged 0 to 6 years, offering a warm, nurturing environment where every child can grow and thrive.
We pride ourselves on creating a strong sense of community across both locations, with dedicated teaching teams who build meaningful relationships with children and their families.
To support busy households, we also offer a full meal service at both centres, providing nutritious, balanced meals throughout the day so children are well cared for and ready to learn.
Our Curriculum
At The Village Co - ELC Beachlands, our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support each stage of your child’s development, from infancy through to school readiness.
For our youngest learners, we provide a safe, nurturing, and responsive environment where babies can explore freely and develop at their own pace. Through sensory play, music, movement, and one-on-one interactions, we focus on building strong relationships while supporting early physical, social, and emotional development.
As children grow into toddlers, our programme encourages curiosity, confidence, and independence. Through play-based learning, children develop early language, social, and cognitive skills while exploring concepts such as colours, shapes, and numbers. Our environment supports both guided learning and child-led discovery, helping toddlers make sense of the world around them.
In the preschool years, children engage in a rich, play-based curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. We foster creativity, problem-solving, and deeper thinking through meaningful experiences tailored to each child’s interests. Our learning environment balances structure and flexibility, supporting independence, collaboration, and a love for learning.
From age four, children participate in our Ready for School programme, designed in consultation with local schools. This programme builds confidence and supports key skills across literacy, numeracy, social development, and self-regulation, ensuring children feel capable and prepared for their transition to school.
Across all age groups, our focus remains the same – building strong relationships, nurturing each child’s individuality, and creating a supportive environment where every child can thrive.
