Early Learning Centre
Before and after school care in Collinsvale.
Our Collinsvale before and after school care program provides learning and leisure activities for local children, taking the pressure off busy families who need additional school-based care.
Located at Collinsvale Primary School, our service gives your child more time with their peers when school finishes.
Children can come straight to our care from school and continue their adventures in our safe and familiar environment.
We are a small, rural after school care service with a focus on nurturing social and community connections.
Through our range of educational activities, our educators will work with your child to build on their strengths and interests, while learning and having fun along the way.
We provide a culturally safe and inclusive environment and can refer families to translation and other support services where needed.

Lead Educator
Rohan
Hi, I’m Rohan and I’m the lead educator at Collinsvale OSHC. I’ve worked at the service since 2023. I’m passionate about early learning because we are helping look after our future generations. At Collinsvale, our aim is that all children experience happiness and feel safe. We are a service about community and providing a home away from home. We are passionate about supporting children to be happy and confident learners. We look forward to welcoming you to our service.
Health and wellbeing
Mental health
Our educators are trained in various programs to support the mental health of your child and are skilled in working with children who have experienced challenges and trauma. Educators provide both environments and programs that support children’s positive mental health and self-care. We also offer mental health support for families if you find yourself in need of assistance.
Nutrition
We teach children about the importance of healthy eating and nutrition. At our early learning service, we:
- Grow our own fruit, vegetables and herbs
- Encourage your child to help with preparing food
- Accommodate all dietary requirements
- Emphasise food safety
- Work with families from a range of cultural backgrounds to ensure we are offering appropriate food choices.
Safe environment
As a child safe organisation, our educators undergo regular working with children’s and police checks. We are focused on delivering learning and development in a safe and supportive environment, so you can trust that your child is in good hands.
