Welcome to Bernice McLeod Children’s Service

One Tree Bernice McLeod Children’s Service is located in Exmouth. The service aims to be a warm and welcoming place for children and parents. The centre is open-plan and has a large garden, with beautiful trees the children enjoy climbing. We have a large shaded outdoor learning environment. This is a communal space where all of the children come together and have the opportunity to participate in group or individual play.

Our approach

Bernice McLeod educators embrace the Reggio Emilia philosophy and incorporate all things uniquely Exmouth into their child initiated programs. These programs are built on the principles of strengthening families, building robust relationships, sharing responsibilities and a commitment to collaboration.

Our children and families are influenced by the natural beauty and environmental significance of the Ningaloo Marine Park and Cape Range National Park. Fishing, camping, boating, swimming and snorkeling are some of the activities the children and their families engage in. These activities provide numerous opportunities for our children to explore, imagine and reflect on the natural world – both inside and outside the service.

Sustainability

Sustainability is important to us at the service. We recognise the actions we make today have an impact on the future. We try to make smart decisions in order to avoid impacting on, and limiting the choices of generations to come. These decisions include maintaining a worm farm, recycling, encouraging families to donate unwanted clothes to the orphanage and swapping items with our local op shop.
