The Team.
Balgownie Early Learning Centre’s team of educators work with you to design and implement a program for your child based on the National Quality Standard (NQS) and Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
Balgownie Early Learning Centre is committed to giving your child the best education possible, and this is why we are staffed with more educators than required by the NQS as well as more highly educated staff than required by the NQS.
Our centre enjoys a low turnover of staff which means consistency of care to the children at our centre.
Our service works in conjunction with TAFE and Universities to help train the teachers and educators of tomorrow. We also work with the Early Start Research Institute at the University of Wollongong to assist them in researching issues that impact on the health and well-being of children in their first years.

“Balgownie Early Learning Centre has seen our son through to his school years and we could not be happier with how much he's grown, flourished and made feel at home within the centre. It's such a testament to the staff and how they care so much. We have been so lucky to have found such a beautiful centre, with such a variety of learning and activities. The beautiful staff at BELC go beyond for the families and kids. We can't thank you enough!”
