About Sparrow Early Learning Carrum Downs

At Sparrow Early Learning Carrum Downs, we are passionate about creating a place where our children feel valued and respected. Our learning environment is a happy and fun place for our children and families to be a part of and most importantly, a home away from home. At Sparrow Carrum Downs we embrace the image of the child as a creative, confident and active learner. Our qualified, Early Childhood Educators use the Early Years Framework as a guide which is intended to support curriculum decision making to extend and enrich children’s learning from birth to five years and through the transition to school.

We aim to provide programs that are fun, educational, inclusive and reflective. Inspired by Reggio Emilia philosophy and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, our educators provide a holistic, play-based curriculum with a strong emphasis on nature and outdoor learning experiences. We celebrate each child as unique and our dedicated educators focus programming on meeting the individual needs and interests of each child.

Our Studios promote a natural environment which provides opportunities to teach children about caring for the world in which we live including:

  • Sandpits for sensory, symbolic and physical play
  • Plants to encourage birds, butterflies and other insects
  • Natural play spaces outdoors to encourage risk taking, fine motor development and imaginative play
  • Water play areas for sensory play
  • Trees which provide shade.
  • Rich in natural resources

Laura Hughesabout 1 month ago

Our son has been attending Sparrow for four years, and without a doubt we are having the most wonderful experience with no issues at all. Communication is always clear, and the staff are consistently supportive and caring. The rooms are neat, clean, and well-maintained, reflecting the pride they take in their environment. They thoughtfully follow the curriculum while providing a wide range of engaging and natural resources for the children. The team truly goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome every day, and we greatly appreciate the regular feedback provided at the end of each day. It’s a very well-run centre where everything feels calm and organised, with a strong sense of structure always in place. The system and organisation happening behind the scenes (which we don’t always see) clearly plays a big role in what we do see in the classrooms. Coming from the childcare industry myself, I’m genuinely impressed with how the team presents themselves and how effectively Sparrows is run. There is strong consistency in staffing, with very little turnover, which is always reassuring for us as parents. Rana At the front Office is AMAZING!! Her gentle approach immediately puts us at ease whenever we have any concerns or questions. She consistently ensures our needs are met and never hesitates to support us in any way possible. Her advice is always clear and straightforward, and her daily follow-ups provide reassurance and peace of mind. My daughter has now been a part of Sparrows for the past nine months, and it has played such a significant role in her growth. She is so happy there, and it’s clear that all the staff genuinely care for and love her. I feel completely confident in leaving our children in their care, my trust in them has never been questioned, I cannot fault the place. As a family, we cannot thank ALL the WONDERFUL staff enough, we are truly so appreciative of their hard work and dedication!! We could not manage without them!! 🫶🏼 5 STARS & MORE 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
