Riversdale Early Learning Centre
Riversdale Early Learning is a family-oriented center conveniently located opposite Oxenford State School. We provide exceptional early childhood education and care for children from 6 weeks of age through to school-age care.
Riversdale Early Learning offers a holistic approach to early childhood education, combining enriching developmental experiences with advanced academic preparation. Set in a natural, leafy environment, our centre features a nutritious food program with an onsite chef, alongside embedded extracurriculars including sports, music and movement, martial arts, and yoga.
Rooted in family ownership and backed by Kylie Shipman’s decades of hands-on industry experience, we bring proven expertise and personal commitment to everything we do.
To provide the best early childhood education we maintain an extraordinary level of highly experienced childcare professionals including all senior staff holding a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Care (Early Years), Advanced Diploma or Diploma in Children’s Services. We support and nurture staff as we do children, providing many opportunities for professional development, enhanced programming and consistent communication.
Philosophy
“It is our vision that each child who comes through our door, joins a community of children, families and teachers engaged in the joy, work and wonder of childhood”.
Children are all individuals and they need to be encouraged to discover and reach their full potential. To achieve this they need a loving, stimulating & non-threatening environment, which nurtures and challenges each individual child. We believe children need a sense of belonging”.

Our Commitment to Reconciliation & Cultural Diversity
At Riversdale Early Learning Centre, we proudly acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations inhabitants of Australia. We recognise and respect their rich cultures as a vital part of the shared heritage of all Australians.
We are dedicated to continuously increasing our knowledge of First Nations history, heritage, culture, and contemporary perspectives. Our educators engage in professional readings, collaborate with cultural competency networks, and actively participate in professional development opportunities.
We believe that young children thrive when they learn to embrace and respect our community’s vibrant cultural diversity. Our educators intentionally foster an environment where every child learns to value and respect these differences.
