What if you could lead a service that truly reimagines what early education can be?

The Learning Terrace is a purpose-built early learning service that has been part of the Raymond Terrace community for five years. With strong occupancy, embedded practices, and a highly regarded reputation, this service is well established and deeply connected to families and community.

Rooted in inquiry-based, relationship-driven pedagogy, our approach places time with children at the heart of practice. We believe leadership begins in listening, and that educators, families and children grow best when they grow together.

The Learning Terrace is committed to child safety and the wellbeing of children in our care. Child Safety is of paramount importance in all that we do and actively consider children's voices in all decisions that affect them. We foster a culture where child safety is embedded in our everyday practices and responsibilities, where all staff understand and uphold their child safety obligations.
