St Mary MacKillop Early Learning Centre, Ingham

Ingham early learning centre is located in the Hinchinbrook Shire in the township of Ingham. Servicing the surrounding areas, Ingham ELC facilitates care for the tight-knit community's earliest learners. Within our small town, we adore creating a centre that feels like one big family, where everyone is welcome.

Delivering a safe, reliable and interactive long day care facility, our centre has developed strong relationships with both St Patrick's Parish and Our Lady of Lourdes School. We regularly participate in school, parish and community events where the children are welcomed into a supportive space to transition into the next stage of their education journey.

Exceptional Long Day Care in Ingham

At Ingham ELC, our early learning centre focuses on developing a space that fosters active learning and the development of the whole child. We acknowledge and respect each child as unique individuals and adore being able to share everyday experiences with these early learners. Our programs are play-based and include educational, religious, and child-led curriculum. We are pleased to create such an environment for each child to grow, explore and develop positively.

The Ingham early learning centre is built on a foundation of wonderful staff, quality care and a welcoming setting. At Ingham ELC, we care for children from 15 months and offer a Queensland Government approved kindergarten program for children in the year transitioning into prep. Each child is provided with a diverse, culturally inclusive and adventurous program – we're confident that your little ones will flourish under our care.
