3 DAY GUARANTEE STARTS JANUARY 2026
Name Change! Formerly Meerilinga Cockburn, we’ve changed our name to better match the community that we serve. Find us on Winterfold Road!
Meerilinga Coolbellup’s refreshed community hub and play areas are located on Winterfold Road, near Kardinya Park Shopping Centre. We have quality nature-based experiences, and our children have access to a seasonal veggie patch, the fun of looking after chickens, a swinging bridge and a great sandpit surrounded by shady trees.
The team at Meerilinga Coolbellup are passionate about letting your child enjoy childhood while helping them to grow in their learning journey, ready for school and life. Join us today and discover the difference our Early Childhood Educators can make to your child’s life.
We’re opening the doors on our Open Day!!! More details here.
Coolbellup's Totem: Kulbardi
The Kulbardi, or magpie, is a curious, confident and intelligent bird that is common to the Coolebllup area. You may often see these birds looking for food and caring for their young.
This totem was designed in consultation with local Elders and the forms part of Meerilinga’s journey towards reconciliation. Thank you to Whadjuk Artist Ms Julianne Wade for creating the artwork.
Playgroups
No child is too young for a Meerilinga Playgroup! All children from birth to five years love new experiences and can benefit from developing sensory, social and communication skills through our playgroup activities.
Even better, Meerilinga Playgroups are designed to involve and connect parents and families, with caregivers attending alongside their children and retaining responsibility for their wellbeing during each session.
