At Griffith Childcare Centre Inc, operating as Dorothy Waide Early Learning and Griffith Central Preschool, our mission is to provide a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment where every child is valued, respected, and supported to reach their full potential. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality early childhood education and care that recognises the importance of the early years as the foundation for lifelong learning, wellbeing, and development.

We believe that children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful interactions. Our programs are designed to inspire curiosity, encourage creativity, and build confidence, while supporting each child’s individual strengths, interests, and cultural identity. We are committed to fostering a sense of belonging where children feel secure and empowered to engage with their world.

Our educators strive to create rich, engaging learning environments that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and social-emotional development. We emphasise the importance of respectful relationships, guiding children to develop empathy, resilience, and a strong sense of self.

We value strong partnerships with families, recognising them as children’s first and most important teachers. Through open communication and collaboration, we work together to support each child’s learning journey and wellbeing. We also embrace our role within the wider community, promoting inclusion, diversity, and respect for all.

Guided by best practice and continuous improvement, Griffith Childcare Centre Inc is committed to maintaining the highest standards of care and education. Our goal is to nurture capable, confident, and compassionate learners who are well-prepared for future educational experiences and active participation in their communities.
