Columbus Early Learning Centre

Today is our birthday. We turned 3 years old and had a little celebration with all the children present today :)

Welcome to Explorers Club! 🗺

Explorers Club is our room for tots aged 2-3yrs.

In these formative years your toddler is developing their sense of identity and personal power.

Our activities encourage and bring out their independence, invoke new skills and strengths, through meaningful experiences and interest-led play.

Keen to check it out? It's not too late to book a tour and join us for 2022!
