The Elms Early Learning Centre is a respected provider of high-quality early childhood education in the Gosford region and is deeply valued by the local community. Our educational philosophy is built on a thoughtfully integrated curriculum that combines the Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) with elements inspired by Finnish-style early learning.

This blended approach places a strong emphasis on play-based learning, children’s wellbeing, child-led exploration, meaningful relationships, and connection with nature, while remaining fully aligned with Australian regulatory and quality standards. We believe children learn best when they feel safe, respected, and empowered, and we aim to foster resilience, independence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
