Welcome to Milestones Early Learning Mudgee, our qualified educators and teachers are trained in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum for ages 0-5. We nurture a lifelong love of learning through a combination of play-based and intentional teaching experiences which help your child develop Social Connectivity, Emotional Confidence, Foundational Learning and Physical Health and Wellbeing. We provide individual care and attention to children in our baby nursery, toddler program, and Kindergarten/Preschool, ensuring they receive the best possible start to their early education. We also offer flexible care options that suit the routines of busy families. Our university qualified early childhood professionals are on staff, focusing on school readiness to prepare your child for their next educational step. You can stay connected with your child's progress and receive updates about their day through our family communication app, Storypark.

We are passionately driven to ensure the highest quality of early education and care at Mudgee Little Learners, delivered by qualified and highly trained staff in a unique, innovative environment. We understand how precious your children are and are committed to make their happiness and growth our priority. Our centre has been architecturally designed to create an environment that is safe, nurturing and stimulating where children are encouraged to discover, explore and imagine. This enables children to develop their own ideas, to discover, explore, and construct their own sense of agency. We understand the importance of environmental learning and are passionate about giving the children opportunities to be in touch with the natural world and explore methods of sustainability. Our outdoor spaces have been specifically designed by award winning “Natural Playspace” designer, Tess Michaels. The goal of designing children’s outdoor environments is to use the landscape and vegetation as the play setting. They offer children chances to manipulate the environment and explore, to use their imagination, to interact with nature, animals and insects, and other children. Our outdoor play areas include: chicken coop, water pump, edible garden, sensory boards, mirrors, sandpit, cubby houses, slides, mud Kitchen, water pump and splash pad.

Everything we do centres around helping your child on their way to reaching emotional and physical milestones at their own pace. We care about giving them the best head start to their life-long learning and education and to develop their individuality and wellbeing. You can rest easy during your working day knowing your child is receiving the very best care. And everything is provided, including nappies, wipes and nutritious meals from our commercial kitchen.

Pied Piper Preschool first opened over 50 years ago, and has been an important and much-loved part of the Wallerawang community ever since. We’ve been in our current lovely building (which was constructed by the community) since 1991, with the playground undergoing a wonderful renovation in 2013. The preschool sits atop the hill in Wallerawang, with fantastic views over Lake Wallace (Wang Dam). We provide high quality preschool education for children aged 3-5 years. We also provide a 2 year old session for younger children on Friday mornings. We follow the Australian Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) which has learning through play and relationships at its foundation. We believe that children should be able to be children, with opportunities to explore, discover and understand the world around them, and to communicate, imagine and create. These things are at the very heart of a Pied Piper day.
