Welcome to Sparrow

At Carrum Downs, we are more than just childcare.

Children are seen as creative, confident, and active learners. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our educators design play-based programs that respond to each child’s interests, experiences, and developmental needs. 

We value families as co-educators and work together to nurture curiosity, wonder, and a love of learning, fostering each child’s growth, wellbeing, and sense of belonging within a warm, inclusive, and supportive community. We warmly invite your family to visit and experience what makes our centre special.

Service Manager

With over 13 years of experience in Early childhood education, I am extremely proud to be leading a team of qualified educators at Sparrow Early Learning Carrum Downs. My aim is to deliver a unique experience to every child and family, one that is filled with learning, natural resources as well as endless creativity and imagination. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment that encourages exploration, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. An environment that helps children feel safe and comfortable, allowing them to open to new experiences and ideas without fear of judgment and to take risks and explore their interests freely.

“The staff here are amazing. Everyone knows my child, her name and what she’s loves. The energy at this centre is awesome. Communication around what my daughter’s interests are and how they can cater her learning experience to that is really good too. Definitely recommend this centre.

“My son has been attending sparrow CD since he was about 10 months, to say he loves coming here would be an understatement. He has made some wonderful little mates and has also learnt so much, not just socially but also counting, songs, the alphabet, he absolutely thrives here. The educators and staff do an amazing job, we are very lucky to have found a centre that takes such pride and care in their roles of looking after little people.”
