Our educational play-based programs assist each child to build and develop at their own individual pace with guidance and support.
Curriculum in the early childhood setting means ‘all the interactions, experiences, activities, routines and events, planned and unplanned, that occur in an environment designed to foster Children’s learning and development’. [adapted from Te Whariki]
We have incorporated an inclusive program to support the needs and creativity of children. Our program aims to be the core of our curriculum and reflects the Early Years Learning Framework – EYLF.
Our curriculum for all rooms, 0-2, 2-3 and 3-5 years is based on The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia. This program is a national Early Learning Framework for children from birth to five years.
Using this framework, educators will observe each child’s learning so they can build on it and plan the next steps. They will do this by listening, watching and talking to your child, and will keep photos and a portfolio of your child’s work to show what they are learning, how they are developing and what particular learning interests them.
Each age group displays their routine and learning journey in the room and this is available for parents to read, and ask questions regarding it can be answered by the appropriate educator.
Educators will keep in touch with you regularly to discuss your child’s progress and if they feel there is an area of concern, they will inform you and advise where help may be sought, e.g. speech therapist. It is always your decision to follow this up. Educators are willing to discuss any aspect of development with parents.

What Parents Say
Jessica Van Dyk
We love Dooral! The teachers are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. Our daughter has blossomed in their care, developing essential skills and friendships. The facility is clean, well-organised, and safe. Communication is excellent, keeping us informed about daily activities and milestones. We appreciate the variety of activities, including arts, music, and outdoor play. Thank your Dooral for always providing a great environment for our 2 year old (who has attended since a baby).
Louise Hamerlok
It was a huge decision as to where to send our Daughter, and after viewing several centres in the area, we knew immediately Dooral was the right one. The teachers are amazing and they fully engage with the children at all times, ensuring that their development and care is the priority. Our daughter has learnt so many great skills during her time at Dooral and I always know she’s in the best hands. The facilities and equipment are clean and modern and encourage learning and development at all ages. I can’t recommend this centre highly enough!
Elise Adams
Dooral Early Learning Centre is a wonderful place of learning, fun and adventure. I was worried to send my son off to daycare when I had to return to work as I of course was concerned that he wouldn’t be nurtured and appreciated as much as at home.. well never fear, at Dooral it is the complete opposite! The staff are so caring, professional and take genuine interest in the life of the kids. They all are so involved in my son’s development and keep me constantly updated with progress and newly learnt skills, it is such a joy for a parent when they have to be away from their child. I could not recommend Dooral any higher.. It truely is the best second home for my son!

Couldn’t recommend Kenthust Dooral ELC higher. A beautiful, welcoming community that has looked after our little girl and helped her blossom so much over the past year. Thank you to Silvia and the team for their ongoing dedication and support for our little ones.

Words can not explain when your child is excited to get ready and get to the car because they know they are coming to Dooral!! We have started attending here a few weeks now and our nonverbal child hurries us to get him to Dooral and doesn’t want to leave at pick up. I have to chase him in the centre and carry him to the car as he doesn’t want to leave even though he has been there all day. This just shows amazing staff and amazing environment. The staff are so in-tuned with the children, patient, cheerful and work really hard to support our boy. Thank you Dooral staff for making our boy excited to be social and learning each Dooral day.

This daycare made the transition for my toddler starting daycare for the first time so much easier. The educators are kind, nurturing, and all mums themselves- not super young. Meals and nappies are included, which makes life so much easier. The centre is surrounded by beautiful Kenthurst gardens and nature, with plenty of room for kids to run around. There’s also not as much sickness here compared to the bigger daycares. Highly recommend!
