Culturally Safe Education

Birrelee M.A.C.S provides an inclusive and culturally safe environment for children to grow, learn and belong. Our facility is dedicated to our elders, past, present and emerging, for their valuable knowledge, wisdom and loving care passed on to their families and community.

strengthening Aboriginal identity

We pride ourselves on providing a place to reflect and strengthen Aboriginal identity within our wider community. We bring together a range of early childhood, health and family services to improve the general health, wellbeing and quality of life for children and families, guiding them to learn and grow to become the future leaders of our community.

our Approach

Holistic Learning

We believe in a holistic approach to education.  Through play-based activities, guided exploration, and hands-on experiences, children engage in meaningful learning that forms a strong foundation for their educational journey.

Inclusivity & Diversity

Our diverse and inclusive environment teaches children about the beauty of differences and encourages empathy and respect from a young age. We embrace diversity and create an atmosphere where every child is valued.

Qualified Educators

Our team of qualified and experienced educators are not just caregivers but also mentors, role models, and partners in your child's development. They create a nurturing atmosphere that supports curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.

Nurturing diversity

We understand the profound impact early childhood experiences have on a child's development. With a team of passionate educators, we are dedicated to fostering a love for learning while nurturing each child's unique strengths and talents. Our centre is designed to be a second home, a place where children feel safe, valued, and inspired every day.

School ready programs

A key element of Birrelee’s vision is preparing the Aboriginal children attending the Service to transition to school, and through its high quality tailored educational program the Service aims to ensure that the children in its care are able to enter school on an equal or superior footing to children from other mainstream childcare services.
