Early Years

Early Years at
The Hamilton and Alexandra College

Piccolo (ELC3) & Piccino (ELC4)

Based on play-based learning, the ELC program at The Hamilton and Alexandra College invites children to enact their innate curiosity and love of discovery. Activities are flexible and open-ended.

Our learning philosophy is inspired by the philosophy of Reggio Emilia. As such, in the Early Years we consider each child as strong, capable, and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge.

Every child brings with them a deep curiosity and an innate sense of awe and discovery, which drives their desire to understand their world and their place within it. ELC children transition naturally into the start of school at Myrniong with a strong sense of place.
