Welcome to Kiddies Learning Hub where we provide Montessori based programs for preschool and kindy children aged 2 to 5 years old. We are located on Joel Terrace in Mt Lawley, which is just off East Parade and Guilford Road (a 2 minute drive from The Graham Farmer Freeway). We are based on the beautiful banks of the Swan River giving children an abundance of nature right on our doorstep. We take nature walks along the tree lined path where we can take colourful tree rubbings, gather ‘treasures’ for fun nature play and art, and monitor the local wildlife, including watching for dolphins swimming by!
Kiddies Learning Hub is an owner operated centre with passionate educators. Our aim is to instil a love of learning by working with families to create a tailored path for every individual on their journey of development by providing a carefully prepared environment, which nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.
Imagine a centre …. that
encourages and nurtures children's play
creates a fun and friendly environment that allows them to laugh
creates opportunities for them to explore
allows them to sing and be creative
encourages and fosters friendship
that challenges and inspires them to solve
helps build communities in partnership with families
