Why Meerilinga’s Early Learning Program is the best start for your child’s education

Meerilinga believes in a balanced approach to teaching and learning.  Their play based ethos encourages children to wonder, ask questions and explore the world around them.

Established as a charity and not-for-profit over 100 years ago, Meerilinga has long strived to promote the rights of children in WA.

Today, they continue to flow this ethos into the early learning framework that guides each of their six Perth based early learning centres.

Playgroup 0-4 years

No child is too young for playgroup.
All children from birth to five years love new experiences and benefit from developing sensory, social and communication skills through activities at playgroup.
Playgroups vary from one session a week made up of three or more members to multiple sessions over the week.

Our playgroups coincide with the WA school term.

Bindi Kindi for children 2-3 years

This toddler program focuses on the pre-school readiness skills, socialisation, sharing and cooperation through small group play.

Our Educators focus on supporting children in their foundation skills of learning how to develop friendships and gain confidence as they interact with others.

We provide this in a play based approach, ensuring we support each child’s individuality and interests.

Pre-Kindy for children 3-5 years

Our Pre-Kindy program has a school-readiness focus, which is extended to literacy, numeracy and science.

As a result of shared thinking and active listening, we are able to discover the world around us and develop the confidence to develop strong social and communication skills.

We are passionate about practicing sustainability in engaging, nature-based garden spaces.
