Learning for Life : Set Up for Success
Thank all the wonderful new and returning families who have joined us for our Learning for Life sessions on Tuesday mornings. These sessions are a fantastic opportunity for younger siblings and families within our College community to connect, learn and play together, as well as welcoming the wider community.
The Learning for Life program is part of Mount Carmel College’s Set Up for Success initiative - a free early years program designed to nurture a love of learning for children from birth to five years of age while supporting families in their child’s early learning journey. Through play-based experiences and exploration, children are encouraged to develop curiosity, confidence and social connections in a warm and welcoming environment.
It has been wonderful to see the sense of community already forming this year as families gather each week. The children have quickly become confident in the Early Learning Centre environment, exploring the spaces independently and choosing play experiences that reflect their own interests. These early opportunities to connect, explore and learn together help lay the foundations for a positive start to learning and belonging within our Mount Carmel community.
We look forward to continuing to welcome families to these special sessions throughout the year. For more information on our program and to register, visit us online here.
