With the capacity to accommodate 64 children across four learning environments and two outdoor areas, our centre provides a nurturing environment where children can learn and thrive.
At our Coogee service, we blend the best practices from Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and the Early Years Learning Framework to create a nurturing environment for children. Our educators are dedicated to fostering a love of learning through active listening and responsive care. We believe in the power of play to inspire curiosity and build foundational skills. Join us at Ascolta Coogee, where every child is cherished and empowered to explore their potential.
We understand that choosing a childcare provider is an important decision.

Ascolta Early Learning and Care Coogee opens at 6:30am and closes at 6:00pm. Children can be dropped off and picked up at any time during those hours. However, just remember that you’ll pay per day, so even if your child is only with us for half a day, you’ll still pay for a full day.
You’re welcome to choose the days best suit your family’s lifestyle and day-to-day arrangements — we’ll always do our best to accommodate the days you need. We also offer casual days as we know circumstances can change and you may find yourself requiring extra help. If you’re unwell, have an appointment, or just feel like having a child-free day, simply get in touch to book an extra day.
Parallel to the Reggio Emilia theory, Ascolta believes the environment is the third teacher. We know all children are competent, curious, and eager to learn, and that physical spaces play a huge part in that learning. So, we strategically create our environments to support their readiness.
Through carefully-considered aesthetic environments, children engage in collaborative long-term investigations where they can construct knowledge through inquiries, explorations, and conversations. All Ascolta’s spaces are enriched with authentic materials to cultivate curiosities and provide dynamic learning opportunities. Through open-ended materials, our spaces promote imaginative play for creative self-led learning. Children are encouraged to think outside-the-box and have opportunities to expand and construct their meaning of the surrounding world.

Ascolta Early Learning and Care is a government approved childcare provider, which means you could be entitled to a Government subsidy. The initiative is designed to enable more low and middle-income families to access affordable, flexible and high-quality childcare. Here’s some of the questions we get asked about the subsidy.
There are a few criteria you must meet. Your child must be under thirteen, not attending secondary school and meet immunisation requirements. Additionally, you or your partner, claiming the Childcare Subsidy, must meet residency requirements and also satisfy the Childcare Subsidy activity test.
