Lakelands ChildCare Centres

Quality childcare and early development for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years in Lakelands.

About

Inspira Kids Lakelands offers a safe, welcoming environment where children aged 6 weeks to 6 years can learn, play and grow with confidence. Located in the heart of Lakelands and conveniently accessible for families across the wider Mandurah region, our centre reflects the needs of the local community and the natural surroundings that shape children’s everyday experiences.

Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), our educators support each child’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development through engaging, play-based experiences that feel meaningful, nurturing, and age appropriate.

With long day care hours, freshly prepared meals and a strong sense of community, Inspira Kids Lakelands encourages confidence and independence, helping children build the skills they need for a positive and confident start to school.

We provide age-appropriate programs designed to support every stage of early learning.

Each group is guided by caring educators who create opportunities for children to grow, explore and build curiosity through discovery.

Our Learning Approach

Our signature C.O.R.E Literacy Program is designed to do more than teach the fundamentals of reading and writing. It encourages children to develop a genuine love for learning that lasts a lifetime.

Through meaningful, hands-on experiences that enhance listening, language development and a passion for storytelling, children build strong communication skills and the confidence to express themselves with ease.

At Lakelands, our C.O.R.E approach is brought to life through strong educator-child relationships, nature-inspired learning environments and experiences that reflect our local community.

C – Child-centred

O – Opportunities maximised for each child

R – Reggio Emilia- inspired environment

E – Engagement with families

My child had a hard time adjusting at first because she dosen't speak English, but the educators at this daycare were incredibly kind and supportive. They even played Korean music to help my child feel more comfortable, which really meant a lot to us. The educators are warm, caring, and truly go the extra mile to make every child feel welcome. We're so grateful for their effort and understanding!
