The Woods is a 75 place centre caring and educating children from birth through to 5 years. Our hours of operation are 6:30am to 6:00 pm. The Woods Early Education Centre & Preschool has a contemporary design featuring a suspended playground for the over 3·s, a separate playground for the younger children and five well equipped classrooms.
As security is one of our main priorities, our centre has an advanced security system where parents are allocated their own pin number to access the Centre during business hours. If anyone else wishes to enter the building they need only ring the doorbell to be welcomed by staff members. For the safety of our families, we have an under cover car park which is used only by our parents.
At The Woods Early Education Centre & Preschool, we have an open door policy. Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in our programs if they wish and new parents are particularly welcome to spend as much time with their child in our centre as required.
Staff are continually updating their qualifications and training in relevant areas of child care by attending in-service seminars and conferences. The staff are required to gain their current Blue Card, Senior First Aid and CPR Certificates and ensure their currency.
The Centre provides many services, some of them are:

Our Nutritious Meals & Healthy Bodies
Our Centres offer tasty, nutritious meals developed by expert Dietitians and Nutritionists. Our menus incorporate delicious hot lunches coupled with fresh fruit/vegetables and yoghurt for morning tea and a wide variety of scrumptious afternoon teas.
We believe in providing the children in our care with a wide range of physical activity throughout the day in conjunction with healthy, balanced meals. Our centres each offer enjoyable activities which makes exercise for children fun!
A wide range of special dietary needs can be also catered for. If your child/ren have any dietary needs, our centre Directors can discuss your individual requirements.
Our daughter has attended The Woods since she was 14 months old. We have been absolutely impressed, since day one, by the professionalism, education, love and care that each and every carer gives our daughter. Our little one is given cuddles and hugs from the moment we come in in the morning. In the afternoon we get a detailed story of all the learning and play she has done throughout the day with her wonderful carers and her mates. It makes returning to work and staying at work just a little easier knowing such dedicated people are spending time and looking after our little one. Also we have found the extra curricular programs excellent and the food provided to the centre is top nosh! Who would believe you can get a toddler to eat something other than cheese carbs and chocolate?!We would highly recommend the Woods to any parent considering sending their little one to long day care. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the Wood's staff, We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful care, education and attention that you have shown Isabelle and William. They have had great experiences at The Woods and consequently, we recommend you constantly. It is very sad that we have to leave and please be aware that we've exhausted many options hoping that we didn't have to move the children from their second home. Thank you so very much - Johnson Family ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you so much for all the help, kindness, support and parent advice over the last four years! We really treasure and appreciate all you have done for our family. Our family love The Woods as a centre and we will really miss it - pity Perth is just too far away! Stay in touch. The Shaw Family

To the Wood's staff,
We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful care, education and attention that you have shown Isabelle and William. They have had great experiences at The Woods and consequently, we recommend you constantly. It is very sad that we have to leave and please be aware that we've exhausted many options hoping that we didn't have to move the children from their second home.
Thank you so very much - Johnson Family
