At Cressy Road Early Learning, we use screens only to enhance our quality childcare in Ryde. With no unlimited access or mindless videos, the children in our care can only access two apps. The ELLA app helps children in our early learning centre start to pick up a second language, while the ELSA app focuses on STEM learning. Both apps are created by Australia’s Education Department, so they are practical options that encourage learning through play and exploration. This is a further part of our commitment to providing daycare with preschool program. Helping children develop a sense of curiosity in key subjects ensures they move up to school eager to learn.

We also help the children in our accredited early learning centre interact with their local community with excursions and trips out into the world and we invite guests into the centre, so they’re used to new adults and meeting their new education team at school won’t be a shock. We assist your parenting to create rounded children in our diverse day care.
We also have a diverse range of educators – speaking over 17 languages between us. You can find older educators, bright new young educators, male educators, and those from a range of cultural and religious backgrounds.
