The Learning Terrace Child Care Centre And Preschool is a family owned and operated centre where our focus is on providing high quality care and education. We strongly believe that every child has the right to be treated equally and be provided with an environment that is caring, nurturing and secure.

The Learning Terrace Child Care Centre and Preschool in Raymond Terrace is dedicated to providing innovative early education and care. Our centre accommodates up to 109 children daily, offering a nurturing environment that encourages curiosity, exploration, creativity, and connection. With six thoughtfully designed learning studios and a dedicated before-and-after school care space, we strive to offer high-quality care for children aged 6 weeks to 12 years, supporting their developmental journey.

We take pride in offering a holistic approach to early childhood development, where each child’s unique strengths and interests are valued. Our carefully curated spaces foster a sense of comfort and security, ensuring that children feel at home while they learn. From infancy through to school readiness, our educators are committed to guiding each child’s transition to school and their broader community. The centre’s family-oriented ethos fosters meaningful relationships, making us a cherished extension of your own family.

Our outdoor and indoor environments promote open-ended exploration, offering children ample opportunities to discover the world around them. Surrounded by lush bushland, our expansive outdoor learning spaces invite children to engage in play-based learning that encourages risk-taking and interactive discovery. We are also passionate about promoting healthy eating, with a menu designed to nourish growing bodies, including fresh, home-grown vegetables. Above all, we believe in the importance of outdoor play, where children can develop a deep connection to nature and the land. Call us!
