About Orchard Early Learning Centre Austral
  
Our brand new Bradbury service opened in 2024, provides a beautiful environments to nurture a child's soul. Our Paddock to Plate philosophy, quite literally, sits at the heart of our curriculum. It is the reason we have surrounded our centres with extensive produce gardens and orchards, ensuring children not only have abounding access to the natural environment but also learn first-hand where their food comes from. We believe in stretching the realms of everyday practice and reconceptualising risk through a developmental lens. We advocate for the potential benefits of taking risks for children’s agency, learning and well-being.  Orchard Early Learning Centres are led by an experienced and warm educational team, we focus on creating learning experiences that allow children to engage thoughtfully and inquisitively with the ever-evolving world around them.  We look forward to welcoming you to our Tribe!
