Wulangurrumatu Early Learning Centre is located at Pirlangimpi at Melville Island. The centre is open from 8:00am – 4:00pm daily. We offer up to 15 children a day as our capacity. The centre provides culturally appropriate education and care environment that offers plenty of space for children to explore, discover, experiment in both natural and structural environment.
We have one large room in the centre with an area for babies, a quite book corner, a dinosaur area with wooden blocks, an area for creativity and other available resources of children choices. The areas are appropriately organised and with the intent to encourage children to explore their interests, curiosity and to encourage sharing and play together. We focus closely on children and their family’s needs by working together.
The outdoor play area offers plenty of shade for children to play in, we have swing and natural resources available for children to explore their physical environment.
We believe Play-based Learning is important to a child’s development of social and emotional skills, language development of Tiwi language and English, and supporting children’s ability to develop positive relationships with peers and positive role modelling from their Elders, Parents and Community.
