Welcome to Latrobe Early Learning Centres

All families seeking care for their children want the very best. Placing your child in care is a big decision and you need to feel confident that your children are being cared for in a safe, nurturing environment.

Our Centres

Latrobe City Council operates three Long Day Care Centres and one Occassional Care Centre:

Carinya Early Learning Centre - Long Day Care

Our Staff

Staff are our main asset and a high priority is given to employing the very best childcare workers and qualified professionals.

It is a State licensing requirement that a proportion of staff must hold formal qualifications while other staff are employed on the basis of relevant experience in childcare and the development of children. As part of the screening process, staff are required to undergo security checks.
