Emali Early Learning Centre is a privately owned and operated group of child care centres in South Australia. Established in 2007, we currently have 9 purposefully designed centres that differentiate in their own way. Our centres are located at: Brighton, Broadview, Campbelltown (Now Open), Findon, Littlehampton, Morphett Vale, North Plympton (Coming Soon) Prospect, Salisbury & Underdale.
Our vision is to support Australia's future generations by setting a new benchmark in Education. We are committed to providing a high-quality service and a homestyle environment for children to develop and explore, enabling them to experience fun, freedom, control, creativity and development.
Here at Emali we hold true to our values, we strongly encourage open and honest communication and recognise its importance when working collaboratively. We work in an environment where individuals are appreciated, acting in an ethical, polite, professional and courteous manner at all times.
We cater for children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age and we respect and acknowledge each child as an individual learner and value their uniqueness. We believe transforming a child’s personal interests into a learning process allows them to develop their own experiences and share their achievements with our team and other children.
The staff and management team at our company are committed to providing high-quality service and care. We are a united family and we welcome you to join us. Together we will work to educate the most influential people on this earth; young children.
