About us

Wonderschool Woden is Ready to Walk Alongside your Child Through Life’s Earliest Adventures

Wonderschool Woden

Wonderschool Woden is a brand new purpose-built Early Learning Centre right in the heart of the Woden Town Centre. At our Woden centre, children learn, grow and explore the world in this unique industrial-style space.

From our bird’s eye view of the world, children can engage in the real-life experiences unfolding around them. They play and learn in light-filled indoor spaces and explore the outdoors in a spacious urban playground and love to watch the lively street below from all angles. We value taking children out to be active participants in their community and take them on regular excursions to discover and connect with the neighbourhood.

We welcome children aged 6 weeks – 5 years and their families seeking an exceptional learning environment with contemporary approaches to early childhood. With a school-ready focus, our educators and curriculum prepares preschoolers for school with project-based learning and emotional development coaching so they have a wonderful first day at kindergarten.

Families looking for childcare services in Canberra’s inner south appreciate our purpose-built facilities at Wonderschool Woden opened in 2021 but when they book a tour it is always the fun outdoor play area that gets the kids attention.

Our Woden centre is truly a wonderful place for little hands and big minds to grow. We provide long daycare which is great for parents that have the early or late shift at Canberra Hospital and for those working in Woden Town Centre, we are less than 2-minute walk from Woden Westfield Shopping Centre, the Federal Department of Social Services and the Australian Government Department of Health and ACT Department of Health.

You and your child can find us on Furzer Street, just near the Woden Library or please refer to our other Canberra childcare centres for locations near your home or work.

The Wonder Approach

Providing Enriching Learning Experiences that Build Communities

Connecting with our families

We understand your desire to stay connected with your child and keep up to date with their learning and progress. The use of digital technologies should always enhance learning experiences, and never detract from the interactions between the educators and children.

Our focus is on providing authentic, one-on-one assessments on your child every six months in line with the national Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF). Relationships are at the core of everything we do. We use moments during drop off and pick up to keep you informed of your child’s day.

What Makes Us Wonderful?

Enriching learning experiences that help build communities and provide opportunities for children to learn about their neighbourhood, including engagement with local businesses and local walks in the surrounding suburbs, which is a regular adventure at our centres in Canberra. We encourage families to explore our approach to quality care and early years learning framework tailored to each age group – infants, toddlers and preschoolers.

Parents are welcome to come in and share their own skills, such as music education or cultural experiences, with the children.

We are committed to do our part for the environment by utilising sustainable classrooms and teaching the children about responsibility and accountability. We have recycling programs in place along with composting, worm farms and limiting food wastage.

Creative arts are promoted and supported so your child will have opportunities to express themselves through music, movement, painting and sculpture.

All of our meals are made from scratch and cater to all children from our commercial kitchen. The menu is in keeping with Nutrition Australia and modified to meet our children’s dietary and cultural needs.
