Welcome to Coombs Early Learning
We know how important it is to find care you can trust. As a privately owned centre in Canberra, we offer long day care for children from six weeks to school age, with a focus on strong relationships, stability, and genuine connection. Our team takes the time to get to know your child, building a safe, calm environment where they feel confident to explore and learn.
We use a play-based approach that supports your child’s development while making sure they feel secure and included every step of the way. As a local centre, we value the relationships we build with families and the wider community, and we’re proud to be part of your child’s early years.
Our Programs
From the first steps in our Nursery to the final preparations for primary school, our age-specific programs are designed to support your child’s unique journey. Every room provides a safe, engaging space where children can explore their interests and build confidence at their own pace.

Our holistic approach is not a separate set of activities, but rather the very foundation of how your child will engage and grow in every room. These are the values integrated into each and every day.
