A natural space for little learners to thrive, grow and be kids
Who we are
At Oxford Falls Early Learning Centre, we provide a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. Our philosophy is grounded in the belief that children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful connections — with people, places, and the natural world.
Surrounded by the beauty of Oxford Falls, we embrace a nature-based approach that invites children to discover, inquire, and grow through outdoor play and hands-on experiences. From garden explorations and bush walks to imaginative play under the trees, we foster a deep respect for the environment and a lifelong love of learning.
At Oxford Falls ELC, your child is not only cared for — they are known, valued, and inspired every day.
our programs
Gardening
Your child will grow, plant and harvest in Mini Gardeners, learning where food comes from and how to care for the environment. Gardening encourages creativity, hands-on learning and problem-solving while extending thinking and observation skills. Picking produce for cooking links their outdoor experiences to everyday life, helping your child understand, respect and enjoy the natural world.
Language
Your child will explore Portuguese language skills, enhancing communication skills and cultural understanding. Learning a new language encourages curiosity, respect for diversity and confidence in expressing ideas. Your child gains valuable social and cognitive skills while discovering the joy of connecting with others through words, songs and play.
Pre-School Program
Your child will build a strong foundation for school in our pre-school program. Through play-based learning in language, literacy, maths, science, physical development and social skills, your child develops confidence, independence, resilience and self-esteem. Activities focus on sharing, turn-taking, hygiene, following rules and caring for belongings, ensuring your child is prepared for a smooth transition to school.

At Oxford Falls ELC, we believe children learn best when they are connected to nature, inspired to explore and supported to grow with confidence. Our nature based learning approach, combined with our school readiness program, prepares children not only for school, but for life.
Through meaningful experiences in natural environments, children are encouraged to investigate, problem solve, take safe risks and develop a deep sense of curiosity about the world around them. Our unique approach supports school readiness by thoughtfully embedding early literacy, mathematics, science and communication skills into everyday learning through play, discovery, group experiences and real world connections.
We believe school readiness is about more than academic foundations, it is also about nurturing resilience, independence, social confidence and emotional wellbeing. By fostering a love for learning, strong relationships and a sense of belonging, Oxford Falls ELC supports children to become capable, confident learners who are ready for their next educational journey.
