Introduction to Dinky Di Terrigal
At Dinky Di Children’s Learning Centre, we really understand that no one can take your place in giving your own child the very best environment and care. When you can’t be there, you can rest assured that your precious children in our care are our first priority, and we will provide the best care in the world for them to enable them to learn and grow in a secure and loving environment.
In trusting us with your children you are also providing them with a genuine ‘Dinky Di’ opportunity for them to reach their potential as they approach primary education. But it needs to be FUN along the way to give kids the best chance of flourishing.
Men and ladies, grown and sweet, once had tiny little feet… And little people learn so fast, all leave small footprints where they’ve passed. Music gives them time to dance, their hand prints written in the sands. To grow and eat well every day, children need a place to play. We teach them, watch them, like the sky, their changing colours, Dinky Di. The sunshine falls where sunshine lands, we hold your children in good hands.

At Dinky Di Children’s Learning Centre, we also love to innovate so we never have to follow others!
Dinky Di Children’s Learning Centre offers premium quality Child Care at an affordable price, ensuring your child’s educational future. Our learning programs are based upon the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), focusing on the individual Child. We also specialise in a unique School Readiness Program to ensure your child has a smooth transition to big school.
The EYLF programs we work with are constantly evolving and changing, ensuring the children at our centres receive the highest quality education. We take a play-based approach to teaching and ‘triple the music’ as we know that research into growth and learning is maximised when the brain is engaged in processing and playing with music and sounds. We firmly believe that children learn most effectively in environments that are nurturing, safe, challenging and fun. Our specially created new beachside landscape setting makes outdoor play interesting, intriguing and exciting!
