At Wanslea Murdoch, child safety and wellbeing are our highest priorities. We are proudly accredited by the Australian Childhood Foundation for Safeguarding Children and Young People, a rigorous recognition that sets us apart. Our Safeguarding Accreditation provides affirmation for families, communities, and stakeholders that we uphold the highest standards in keeping children and young people safe, continuously striving for best practice and quality improvement.
We are proud to stand as a leader in early childhood education and care operating for more than 30 years. As a non-for-profit, we are dedicated to putting children and families first, reinvest in our services, offer our educators above-award wages, and continually enhance our learning environments and programs to provide the best possible start for every child.
Our Murdoch team includes qualified and experienced educators, including a Qualified Early Childhood Teacher. We pride ourselves on having long-standing educators, with most of our team having worked with Wanslea for numerous years, many for more than eight years. This consistency helps us build strong, trusting and lasting relationships with the children and families in our care.
Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and supports children to learn through play, discovery and exploration. We design engaging programs that reflect each child’s individual interests, needs and strengths.
We integrate KIDDO to support physical literacy and active play, and the Pyramid Model to strengthen social and emotional skills. Our indoor and outdoor environments are thoughtfully designed to reflect these approaches.
We use Storypark, a secure online platform, to share updates, photos, learning observations, and milestone celebrations with families in real time. We value open communication and strong partnerships with families. Our team works closely with parents and carers to keep them informed and engaged in their child’s learning and development every step of the way.
Wanslea is affiliated with the NDIS, giving our team easy access to a wide range of resources and support services. This enables us to provide valuable guidance to families, connect children with early intervention opportunities when needed, and ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive.
My journey working with children began in Portugal, where I specialised in Children’s Rights and Family Affairs Law after completing my Law degree in 2010. After moving to Australia in 2013, I pursued Early Childhood Education and Care and started my journey with Wanslea.
In 2021, I proudly stepped into the role of Centre Coordinator at Wanslea Susan Teather Early Learning and Development Centre.
Each day, I am committed to ensuring children feel safe, supported, and given the best possible start in life. I take great pride in our centre’s commitment to quality, collaboration, and creating a nurturing environment for children, families, and educators.
What parents are saying
A safe, loving and educational environment
As a parent of two children who have grown up in the care of Susan Teather Centre, it is a lovely feeling to be able to drop off my children before work knowing that they are being cared for in such a safe, loving and educational environment. Both my children adore their carers/educators, and I can't begin to tell you how much they learn whilst having fun. The centre has firm policies and high standards on child illness and safety, which is a testament to how much they care for all the children's wellbeing. My only issue is at pickup when my eldest doesn't want to leave yet, because she's having so much fun... it is also abundantly clear by how much lunch my children eat, that Beats cooking is far superior to my own! I Highly recommend this centre and will be sad when my girls go to big school.

My first son has been there about 2 years since he was 9mo and my 8mo has just started. All the staff are amazing and consistent which has been very needed for my eldest who thrives off routine and consistency. He has learnt so much there and I'm so excited for my youngest to be there for the years to come.

Absolutely love this centre, my kids have always felt their most comfortable here, from day 1 for both of them they have felt at home and the team has become like family to us. They have been in daycare since 6m & 8m old and my eldest only left at the beginning of this year (4.5yo) Jade, Anna, Amy, Britt, Laila, Amelia, Airleen, Pooja and more have been the most wonderful educators we have ever experienced over our time. Thank you to all the past and present educators as well. Can’t recommend this centre enough and would 1000% be continuing to recommend them to family and friends 😃
