Woodvale Early Learning Program
Meerilinga Woodvale is a much-loved part of our local community. A trailblazer for Early Learning Programs, our Centre has been guiding children in their education for more than twenty years. Today, our team of experienced Early Childhood Educators are ready to help your child through their first crucial stages of development and prepare them for school.
In our Programs, your child will take part in  regular visits to North Woodvale Primary School and the Woodvale Library to help enhance their learning and help their transition from home to school. Your child will always be excited to return to our Centre, where the large play areas and chicken coop (the home of Rosie and Peanut) are ready to explore.
Find us in the heart of Woodvale next to North Woodvale Primary School and discover the difference that Meerilinga is making for our children, families and communities.
Woodvale's Totem: Maarli
The Maarli is not just a symbol for the state of Western Australia but was also chosen as the totem for our Woodvale Service. The Maarli is both calm and graceful, and it can be found in the lakes and rivers of the Woodvale area.
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.
The Meerilinga team were privileged to attend Child Australia’s the 2024 WA Early Childhood Learning and Development Sector Awards. This wonderful event celebrated the achievements of our industry, including those of Meerilinga’s Early Learning Programs.
We were thrilled to feature throughout the night, including:
- Woodvale was awarded winner for “Excellence in Best Practice”
(in particular for innovation and/or exceptional sustainable practice).
Playgroups
Connect with other parents and families while your child benefits from new experiences. Meerilinga Playgroups are designed to help children develop sensory, social and communication skills in a safe and friendly environment.
While our experienced Educators are often on hand throughout the Playgroup, caregivers attend these sessions alongside their children and retaining responsibility for their wellbeing during each session.
