Founded in 2024, the Harkaway Early Learning Centre part of the PARED Victoria family.
The fundamental purpose of Harkaway Early Learning Centre is to support parents in the education of their littlest children – an education that results in virtuous adults of solid character. The Service provides the components of each child’s broader education, which remains firmly embedded within the family’s education of the child in virtue and character. The Service offers support to parents to ground themselves more resolutely in virtue and character, so that they can parent more effectively.
The Service and its staff members pursue these purposes vigorously, and renew their goals daily, when reinforcing the weekly virtues statements (mottos), goal setting with children, cand promoting development opportunities for parents, staff and students.
The Service offers a child-lead, play-based program, enriched with an age-appropriate structure to prepare children for the transition in Foundation. Formal programs such as Pre-Lit, Numeracy, Inquiry, Spanish, Music, Art and Physical Education provide variety, challenge and excitement through the week.
