About Us
At Guppy’s Early Learning Centre, we believe in providing personalised service that suits the unique needs of the children and families we care for. Our programs strongly emphasise play-based learning while recognising the importance of developing emotional, social, and communicative skills early in life. We recognise that responsive, meaningful, and respectful interactions are the foundation of quality education. We believe our role as an early childhood provider is to nurture children’s passion for learning and give them the opportunity to explore the world around them.
