WELCOME TO SENSES ELC: IGNITING THE SENSES TO LEARN

In the heart of Milsons Point, North Sydney, Senses Early Learning Centre welcomes you to an enriching early learning experience. From the very beginning of their development, children naturally explore the world through their senses - sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. At Senses ELC, our name and educational philosophy are deeply rooted in the profound influence of these senses on the learning journey and the immersive experiences they offer.

Discover how Senses ELC harnesses the power of sensory exploration to ignite a lifelong love for learning.

sENSES: ENRICHMENT

Aligning with our Senses : Ignite curriculum, Senses : Enrichment offers a calendar of additional educational sessions, provided by qualified professionals. From artistic exploration and music to sports, drama, and sustainability, our term-based sessions are thoughtfully designed for Nursery, Toddler, and Preschool groups.

NUTRITION PROGRAM

Our seasonal menus are tailored specifically to meet the needs of each developmental age group. Created fresh each day by our centre Chef, we provide children with a balanced breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late afternoon snack, taking into account allergies and cultural requirements.

SENSES : IGNITE

At Senses ELC, our exclusive early learning curriculum goes beyond traditional basics to prepare children for the future. Rooted in sensory exploration and play, our curriculum is guided by four core principles: Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Collaboration, shaping young minds in five curriculum areas.


We recognise that for young children to learn best, they need daily opportunities to play in sensory-rich environments, where sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing are the focus and very much encouraged.
— Head of Curriculum

Nursery program

From birth, children explore the world through their senses, and in our Nursery rooms, we prioritise one-on-one and small group learning experiences. Our Nursery program includes essentials like Pigeon bottles, formula, Huggies nappies, and nutritious meals prepared fresh on-site.

Toddler program

Our dynamic Toddler educators are here to support this curious and energetic group during a critical period of cognitive, emotional, and social development. We guide them through sensory-rich experiences, fostering their independence, confidence, and understanding of the world.

Preschool program

Our comprehensive Preschool program covers literacy, numeracy, creative expression, scientific exploration, physical development, technology, and sustainability. Led by a University-qualified Teacher, it balances technology-based learning with hands-on exploration, play, and structured class times.
