Santa Sabina College Graduate Programs & Internships

Mary Bailey House Early Education Centre is the work-based education and care service of Santa Sabina College.

Our Early Education Centre is located in the grounds of the Primary Campus. There, in Mary Bailey House (MBH), we provide education and care to children aged from six weeks to six years. We are rated as Exceeding the National Quality Standard and MBH has been proclaimed as a benchmark service by early childhood professionals and academics alike. Our educational program is founded on the national curriculum, The

Early Years Learning Framework Australia, which aims to extend and enrich children's learning from birth through to the transition to school. It also reflects the Reggio Emilia experience which focuses on creating learning environments that support genuine collaboration and enquiry between children, families and educators. Our MBH educational leaders refer to developmental theory and educational research when reviewing and developing the program. Evidence of their engagement with pedagogy includes our Infant-Toddler Curriculum, informed by John Bowlby's attachment theory, and our Literacy Policy, framed on current research into early literacy development.
