Isabella Plains Child Care & Education Centre
Communities at Work’s Isabella Plains Child Care and Education Centre strives to create environments that have a positive impact on children’s learning. We recognise connections between children, their families, educators and the community, ensuring that each child feels safe, secure and supported.
About the Centre
Communities at Work’s Isabella Plains Child Care and Education Centre is a cosy, comfortable and family-friendly environment where children enjoy climbing trees, exploring the garden areas, riding bikes/scooters and playing in the community basketball courts, under the supervision of our qualified educators. We believe in the importance of play-based learning and actively support providing children with opportunities to explore and interact with their environment in order to direct their own learning.
We value children’s learning in a social context and ensure that opportunities for individual learning are balanced with group learning, providing children with the opportunities to support each other’s developing knowledge and strengths. We also engage in intentional teaching, taking a holistic approach which addresses each child’s physical, personal, social, emotional, cognitive and spiritual wellbeing.

Why Choose Us
Our indoor and outdoor program, strong focus on environment and play-based learning, strong connection with Isabella Plains Early Childhood Service and School, and small group settings make our centre a place where children can experience positive learning and growth.
We regularly engage in a wide range of community-based activities that enable children to connect to others in the community and develop significant life skills. For instance, our participation in the seedling program allows children to learn about the importance of caretaking and sustainability while interacting with retirement centres across Canberra teaches children to value and respect the seniors’ community and makes a difference in people’s lives.
Our committed team of professionals take an active role in documenting each child’s progress towards the learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and work on ensuring that this takes place in the context of our knowledge of the developmentally appropriate practice.
