Learning for Life

Learning for Life for 2025 is well underway and we welcome families to join us in the Early Learning Centre (ELC) on Monday mornings from 9.15am to 10.15am. Currently the ELC building is only accessible from Nelson Road. 

Did you know that the most important time of development for a child is in the first 1000 days, starting right from conception and moving through to when the child is 24 months?

At Mount Carmel College our Learning for Life program is for children aged between birth and five years old run by our Early Years educators and is part of the Set Up for Success initiative, a fun and free program prompting life-long skills for both young children and their families. Each week, our sessions will support the holistic development of individual children with a variety of play-based educational activities.

As part of the learning experience, children must attend sessions with a parent or carer who are responsible for their children at all times. 

Attending these weekly sessions is a great opportunity to get to know our College and meet some early childhood trained staff in a nurturing environment. It also gives parents and carers the chance to connect with other families and encourages social skill development in your child.

The program changes weekly - click on the link below for the Term 1 program.

Are there costs?

There are no costs for attending the program. We kindly ask that all families bring their own drink bottles and snacks.

What to bring 

• A water bottle
