About Sparrow Early Learning Thornlie

At Sparrow Early Learning Thornlie we provide early education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years in a fun, happy, safe and stimulating environment. We are a warm and welcoming boutique Service offering only 44 places. Inspired by Reggio Emilia philosophy and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, our educators provide a holistic, play-based curriculum with a strong emphasis on nature and outdoor learning experiences.

We celebrate each child as unique and our dedicated educators focus programming on meeting the individual needs and interests of each child. Family involvement and participation are highly encouraged and fostered at our Service. We value families as our co-educators and encourage them to participate in all aspects of our Service and their children’s learning. Read more.

Indoor learning spaces feel just like home and are filled with materials and resources that come straight from nature and everyday life. Activities are largely open-ended to allow children to follow their interests, use their imagination and stimulate social interactions with their peers and educators.

Engaging outdoor spaces provide further opportunities for imaginative and collaborative play with children enjoying the unstructured open spaces, quiet shady areas, sandpits and bike track, under the protection of shade sails.

We welcome families to arrange a tour to experience our warm and inviting service firsthand.

Ebony

Service Manager at our Childcare Centre, Thornlie

“My name is Ebony, and I am the Service Manager here at our Thornlie service. I have two children of my own and have worked in early education field for 17 years with children aged from 0-12 years.” Read more.

My biggest aspiration is creating an environment where children and families feel safe and supported and are able to build strong and trusting relationships with the educators at the service. Essentially like a family with a ‘home away from home’ feeling, which resonates with our favourite quote ‘it takes a village to raise a child’.

Here at Sparrow, we implement child-based learning this reinforces my belief that each child is an individual and their uniqueness should be supported and celebrated. We strive to reach the best outcomes for all children in accordance with their own individual development.

Happy families at Sparrow Early Learning Centre Thornlie

“Such a lovely bunch of educators, who go above and beyond for all. Feels like a Sparrow family especially since it’s a smaller service and the educators get to know all the families and vise versa.”

Ebony Bennett

“It makes my days at work far easier knowing that I’m leaving my girl in such great hands. All the educators are so kind and welcoming and they run a wonderful learning program. My daughter has thrived in this environment. The girls in the babies room have helped her grow since she was 4 months old, she loves them and I can’t recommend this centre enough!”
