MercyCare Early Learning Ellenbrook
As an integral part of the community, Ellenbrook Early Learning Centre prides itself on the close relationships between staff and families, working together to ensure each child receives the individual care and learning opportunities to thrive.
The seven architecturally designed rooms at our Ellenbrook child care centre provide bright and fun learning spaces for our children to learn. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill our rooms with natural light, flowing out to our large, nature-based playground that encourages children to use their imaginations and to play independently.
A consistent team of educators ensures children feel safe and comfortable in their home away from home, especially children who are new to child care and early learning centres. Our highly qualified and experienced educational team provide a flexible, responsive and engaging learning environment tailored to each child’s individual needs.
Learning activities are very much led by the children, their interests and a reflection of the community they belong to. We learn about and celebrate cultural events, building lessons on the individual interests of the children. Children learn about the environment through our environmental sustainability program.

Centre Manager
Cara
I am the Centre Manager here at Mercycare Early Learning Ellenbrook. I’ve been part of this wonderful centre since June 2023, bringing over 25 years of experience working with children.
I started my career in early childhood education in 1998, beginning as a trainee and growing into the role of Centre Manager across various services. I love being able to create sustainable environments and help young minds understand how we can care for the land we live on.
By introducing animals and designing inviting, engaging spaces, I aim to spark children’s curiosity and inspire a love for learning and nature.
As a mum of four myself, I deeply understand the joys and challenges that come with raising a family. This experience allows me to connect with families on a personal level, empathising with the busy routines, the milestones, and the little moments that make parenting so special.
My journey as a parent helps me relate to the needs and concerns of each family, ensuring that we create a warm, supportive environment where everyone feels valued and understood.
My passion lies in working closely with children and their families and seeing each child’s unique journey unfold as they grow into amazing individuals is truly the highlight of my career. I’m excited to be part of your family’s journey with us!
What our parents say about us
I never expected anything close to the level of love and care these ladies give to my twin boys. I can’t thank them enough, my boys are genuinely excited to go to daycare every day and are completely smitten with their educators. 5 stars isn’t enough!
Google Verified ReviewAll the staff are unbelievably welcoming and loving to my son! For my two-year-old son to walk in the centre and run away to play and yell from the other side of the playground “BYE MUM!” shows me that even when I’m not there he is the happiest little vegemite. His learnt to settle down for naps, how to listen and take instructions as well as being able to concentrate on tasks and speak clearly. All these ladies are wonderful!
Google Verified ReviewThe team are wonderful with the care they provide to each and every child. MercyCare Ellenbrook is a fresh and new centre with nature play equipment which helps the children explore and create their own adventures. My son… has developed so much under their care.
Google Verified ReviewThank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you to all the girls in the baby room, you have made the daunting feeling of leaving your child such a pleasant experience.
The loving updates throughout the day with her big smile gives me so much happiness to know I can get all my uni work done and not have the Mum guilt because I know she’s in the best hands. I love the bond she has created with each-and-every one of you.
Google Verified ReviewI’d just like to say a big thank you to the centre. You know when a child is happy at his daycare when he asks on holidays if he can go back to daycare soon!
Preston also tells me he would like to invite all his teachers to his birthday party, you ladies are like family to him. Thank you for all your hard work, I know it’s not easy some days, but you all put in so much effort and keep smiling no matter what.
Google Verified ReviewThe baby room educators are always so welcoming, making the effort to put children at ease as soon as they arrive. They take on any update I provide regarding my child and incorporate it straight away into the work they do – which makes things much easier for his transition between daycare and home. Nothing is ever too much, they are all so willing to help.
