Institute of Early Childhood

We offer a high-quality program based on the intellectual pursuit of excellence in early childhood education and care through collaborative and individual research and practice. We are committed to upholding the rights of the child and engaging children meaningfully in experiences that promote their desire for learning and spark their curiosity. Children use these skills to explore an environment that supports the development of positive relationships and nurtures each individual's sense of belonging, being and becoming. We also foster mutually respectful partnerships with families in the context of a culturally diverse community. We are located on the campus of Macquarie University, Building X5B (near the Balaclava Road entry to the University).
