Who We Are

Mission

Our mission is to provide high-quality early education and care that empowers children to thrive in safe, inclusive, and inspiring environments. We partner with families to nurture curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Vision

Our vision is a future where every child feels valued, respected, and supported—where early learning lays the foundation for wellbeing, success, and strong community connections.

Moolanda’s Core Value

Caring Environment

We believe every child deserves a place where they feel safe, accepted, and deeply cared for. Our spaces are built on love, trust, and joy—where children can grow with confidence and know they belong.

Curious Minds

Children are natural explorers, and we nurture that spark of curiosity every day. Through play, discovery, and hands-on experiences, we encourage them to ask questions, experiment, and imagine new possibilities.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Moolanda, every culture and background is valued and celebrated. We create inclusive spaces where children learn respect, empathy, and the beauty of diversity — preparing them to thrive in a global community.

Critical Reflection

We embrace ongoing reflection and learning as educators. By combining current knowledge, thoughtful practice, and each child’s individual interests, we design programs that grow with our children and continue to evolve with the world.

Foundations of Moolanda

History

First opening its doors in 1987, the Centre was purpose-built with support from the Local, State and Commonwealth Governments to provide high-quality, affordable education and care for local families.

Service Philosophy

Our philosophy is to nurture each child’s growth and wellbeing within a secure, inclusive, and engaging environment where they can thrive and become the best versions of themselves.
