A serene, spacious centre where children freely explore nature and learn at their own pace.

Open Mon - Fri, 7.30am - 5.30pm

Welcome Bay Early Childhood Centre

Nestled amongst nature you can hear the wind rustling through the trees, birds chirping away and ducks waddling past. Set on large site, our Welcome Bay centre offers lots of space and freedom to explore the natural world.

With our onsite Nature space, complete with a cabin, chickens, and even a toilet, children have endless opportunities to explore.

They can learn at their own pace, while building lifelong skills in a natural environment. Our inside space offers warmth, love and homeliness, where the pace of the day is slow and calm and children are able to lead their learning.

Welcome Bay Early Childhood Centre

We are a passionate family-owned small centre.

We believe that every child deserves to spend their days in a calm and peaceful environment, where children are active participants in the rhythms, rituals and routines of the day, and they are given time and space to involve themselves in play and learning without being rushed and interrupted. 

Our play-based program allows children to be the director of their own story! Where they are given the freedom to explore, learn and develop at their own pace.

We love spending our days in nature, and having our own dedicated nature space makes it easy and consistent. In this area, our children have the freedom to explore the natural world, make their own choices, and assess risks, all within a safe and familiar environment.

In this space we are also promoting our garden to table philosophy, learning how to grow Kai and then harvesting, preparing and cooking it for our delicious kai.

Our Little Pipi Family Philosophy transfers into all the exciting adventures we go on as a centre. You will often find us out and about exploring and learning through our community.
