The Hutchins School Early Learning Centre (ELC) provides a stimulating, nurturing and vibrant environment for boys from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 2. The first steps are taken towards ensuring boys grow into young men of good character. The early years are the most vital in a child's educational life. During this time children are entering a social world stretching beyond the family. They are trying to establish themselves as members of a peer group community. It is during this period too that they acquire the foundation skills for future learning. They form crucial attitudes in learning and to themselves as learners. By the end of these early years of education children will have reached some important decisions about their own abilities and own worth. This places a special responsibility on teachers of young children to provide a warm, supportive but challenging environment.Special features-Award winning purpose built classrooms,An onsite Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) facility for boys from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6,A Social and Emotional Wellbeing Program (Bounce Back) from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6,A separate play area – with phased in participation with older boys (Years 1 and 2),Whole school participation for certain events (e.g. House Assembly),Informal buddy system with Junior and Senior School boys.
