The difference with Scola
Scola Early Learning
Our philosophy
Our philosophy is based upon the sociocultural theories of development. Inspiration for our curriculum has been drawn from famous developmental psychologists and best practices in early education programmes from around the world. These are implemented by our dedicated, considerate, and attentive educators who are motivated by the successes of the children they work with.
Our educators
At Scola Early Learning, children are observed and guided closely by our experienced and knowledgeable staff members. The information they gain from observation of the child, and collaborating with parents regarding home-life, is used to identify the child’s interests, concerns and skills so that our team can provide the highest standard of early years education.
Our evidence-based techniques are used as a means of developing an assortment of skills, such as memory, organisation and planning, attention and focus switching. An empathetic and considerate approach is employed as a means of developing the child’s emotional intelligence, and play and experimentation are important tools used in developing a child’s imagination, their social skills and their physical and mental wellbeing.
The facility
Scola Early Learning is not a typical childcare service — it’s a purpose-built, professional education and care environment designed to help young children thrive.
Each day, children engage in hands-on, play-based learning experiences that build curiosity, confidence, and essential early skills.
Our Melville campus on Marmion Street, next to The Children’s Garden, offers a calm and inspiring setting for families from Melville, Attadale, Palmyra, Hilton, and East Fremantle.
Safety & child protection
“Child safe” isn’t a poster on a wall—it’s a culture. It’s the everyday ways adults listen to children, act on concerns, plan ahead for risks, and treat every child’s dignity as non-negotiable. Australia’s National Principles for Child Safe Organisations give families and services a shared roadmap for doing exactly that.
The Principles grew out of the Royal Commission’s work and provide a consistent, national framework any school, club, church, early learning setting, or community group can use to put children’s safety and wellbeing first.
An adaptive centre, tailored to your child
Supporting children aged 2–5, Scola combines research-informed teaching with play-based learning to help young minds develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
Early learning is about more than supervision. It’s about nurturing curiosity, building strong foundations for school, and creating an environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to explore the world around them.
