Early Learning Centre Adelaide
Our Early Learning Centre Adelaide Precious Cargo is the leading early learning centre Adelaide, now with over nine established locations that maintain the strong company values instilled by our founder, Cheryl Shigrov. We strive to provide a safe, inclusive and nurturing environment that facilitates the development of essential life skills. Cheryl’s passion for early childhood education stems from experience, after enrolling her son into a Montessori school. Through extensive research, she uncovered an abundance of proven benefits surrounding the stimulation of social, practical and academic skills. To date, Montessori learning has been implemented across 22,000 schools and counting, which is reflective of its success. Through various activities involving cooking, washing, agricultural practice and music, the mentors at Precious Cargo work collaboratively with your children to create a self-guided learning experience. You children will develop a strong initiative, influencing smarter choices when it comes to skills like maintaining good hygiene and a healthy diet.
