Delivering quality childcare to families in Rostrevor and surrounding areas

Rostrevor College Stepping Stone Early Learning Centre provides a safe, comfortable and enriching learning environment for the early learners of our community. Our environment is one where our educators will build nurturing and trusting relationships with children, families and the wider community. Take a sneak peek inside our centre below...

About the centre

We offer an outstanding, purpose-built centre, where we cater for children from 6 weeks and can see them right through until they start their schooling.

We have a dedicated early childhood teacher on-site, who delivers a comprehensive pre-school program and works closely with the junior school staff at Rostrevor College.

It is this close working relationship with Rostrevor College which sets us apart from most.  This relationship sees us utilising many of the college facilities, including library visits, their gymnasium, ovals, and environment centre as well as attending buddy class activities with the reception and year 1 class.

Through our work with the college, we are able to assist with a smooth, relaxed transition from early learning to school for our children.

We look forward to showing you through our wonderful centre.

Hear from families who have attended our Rostrevor childcare centre...

Warm and caring educators make this centre more than just quality care. This is our second child in the centre and we recommend to other families.

Danielle Frankish
Rostrevor Centre

My son started here 3 months ago, and he absolutely loves it here. He’s formed a strong bond with all his educators, who all show compassion and caring for him. During the short lockdown last year, the staff called to make sure we were ok at home. Their communication is second to none, they always notify me if there is an issue, give me an update of his day when I collect him and call to check how he’s doing if he’s off.

Meet the Centre Director

Hello and welcome to Rostrevor College Stepping Stone Early Learning Centre.

My name is Karen Webber and I am the Centre Director at Rostrevor College Stepping Stone Early Learning Centre. It is with great pleasure that I would like to introduce myself to you all.

I have been in the education and childcare industry since 2008. I completed my Bachelor of Education in Primary Teaching in 2007 and worked within schools, teaching in the early years, for 2 years, before moving into before care and after school care. In 2014 I made the change into childcare. From here I worked in a Kindergarten in China for two years as an English teacher. I obtained my Diploma in 2017, on my return and have continued in this career. I worked as a Team Leader in Melbourne for 2 years before returning home to Adelaide. I have worked as a Team Leader and then the Early Childhood Teacher at Stepping Stone RAH since 2019.

Provided the opportunity to take on the Centre Director role at Rostrevor College Stepping Stone Early Learning Centre has been an absolute privilege.

In my free time I enjoy doing some quilting and reading when I get an opportunity. I also enjoy looking after my garden.

Here at Rostrevor College Stepping Stone ELC, we have the opportunity to become involved with Rostreveor College, enjoying trips to visit their animals, and visiting their library. Our inspiring educators are committed to positive outcomes for children by promoting play based learning and using the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National Quality Standards (NQS) as our educational platforms.

My team and I look forward to working in partnership with your family to provide a safe, happy and caring environment where the best educational outcomes are possible for your child.
