Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

Our Christian early learning centre at North Strathfield is located adjacent to the historic Ardill House, the former residence of our founder George Ardill. We offer a preschool program with a long day care service offering extended hours, convenient for working parents.
Our friendly team of educators at North Strathfield Early Learning Centre have a passion for working closely with families. Highly qualified and experienced, they provide an individualised educational program that aims to meet the diverse needs of all children who attend. Parents are encouraged to participate in the program by volunteering at the centre and communicating the expectations for their child’s learning to the educators. The children learn through play and interest based activities that are developmentally appropriate for each child’s age. Our programs are designed to build on children’s home and community literacy experiences and includes literacy practices that are relevant to children’s everyday lives as well as familiar texts from their homes and communities.
In this day and age, it’s great to have a centre that promotes traditional family and Christian values. I feel that my child is in safe hands.

The outdoor area is a pleasure to be in and my toddler finds it fascinating and inviting. Natural play materials are inviting and challenging. Such a great space to learn and develop in.

Thanks for letting us know about our child’s development at Integricare. We also appreciate the observation notes you’ve provided regarding her speech. We are so grateful that she has such a patient and companionate teacher. You really put the “care” in “daycare”. Please extend our thanks to the team for all the wonderful things you’ve taught our daughter.

We would like to thank you for all your hard work, support and encouragement that you have given in the rainbow group. My son loved every minute of preschool and always came home full of enthusiasm and stories to tell. I want to take the opportunity to say "thank you" for your kindness, friendly behaviour, patience and discipline.

Both my kids with autism spectrum disorder have had wonderful experiences with Integricare, and I myself have experienced great friendship and comfort from staff.

I love the teachers! How they care so much for my child. One of them takes extra effort to put my baby to sleep which is I think very exceptional!

My child learnt to eat new foods, socialise with friends and grew in confidence during her 3 years at Integricare!

My 4 year old used to cry hysterically, in just a month he overcame this all thanks to loving and caring staff.

Educators are very caring and nurturing. I feel confident leaving my child with educators even when he is upset with separation anxiety.
