About Us

We are an all-inclusive early learning centre committed to providing a holistic and enriching experience for every child.

Who We Are

Leading the Way in Early Education

At Lead Early Learning Centres, we are dedicated to shaping the future of early childhood education. With over 20 years of experience, we have set new standards of excellence through quality childcare for the St Ives community.

Guided by our four core values—LEARN, EXPLORE, ACHIEVE, DEVELOP—we embrace the Reggio Emilia approach, recognising children as capable, curious, and active participants in their own learning. Through hands-on experiences, inquiry-based learning, and meaningful connections, we foster confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for discovery.

Our passionate educators are leaders in the industry, delivering innovative, play-based programs that encourage independence and self-expression. At Lead Early Learning Centres, we don’t just educate—we inspire, empower, and shape the next generation of thinkers, dreamers, and achievers.
