A Local Service Families Know and Trust
Poplars Holt is more than just an early learning centre. It's a place where families feel heard, educators are consistent, and children are seen. Many families have already noticed the difference under new management and are pleased with the improvements in both communication and day-to-day operations.
You’ll find a centre that is calm, clean, and focused on giving each child the support they need to thrive in their early years. Every family is welcomed into the space and treated like part of the Poplars community.
Warm, Experienced Educators Who Truly Care
At the heart of Poplars is a team of experienced educators who build meaningful connections with each child. These are not just carers, they are early learning professionals who understand how to support development across the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical domains.
Staff turnover is low, and many educators have worked at the centre for years. That consistency creates stability for children and gives families confidence that their child is in capable hands.
Purposeful Learning Environments
The centre features inviting, well-considered learning environments that promote exploration, independence, and creativity. Each space is designed to reflect the children's interests and learning needs, with quiet reading areas, open-ended materials, and age-appropriate resources.
Outdoor spaces provide opportunities for active play, nature-based experiences, and sensory exploration. The environment is not only safe and secure, but also responsive to the rhythms of the day and the needs of each child.
A Strong Preschool Program That Prepares Children for School
Poplars Holt offers a high-quality preschool program designed to support children in the year before school. With a strong focus on school readiness, children build confidence, social skills, early literacy and numeracy, and self-help skills.
Educators work alongside families to ensure a smooth transition to school, with learning experiences that reflect the Early Years Learning Framework and a child-led, inquiry-based approach. The preschool program is delivered by qualified early childhood teachers and aligns with local ACT school expectations.
A Focus on Learning Through Play
At Poplars, learning happens through play. Whether your child is exploring nature, engaging in creative arts, or participating in group projects, each experience is intentional and tailored to their stage of development.
From infants to preschoolers, educators support each child to ask questions, experiment, and make meaning from their surroundings. It’s a holistic approach to early learning that builds confidence and encourages curiosity.
Clear Communication and Family Involvement
Parents value the open and consistent communication they receive. From daily updates and photo journals to open conversations with educators and leadership, you’re never left in the dark.
The team works in partnership with families, recognising that you know your child best. Poplars Holt respects different parenting styles, cultures, and routines, creating a space where every family feels comfortable and included.
