Beechboro Christian School Early Learning Centre | Parry and Rosenthal Architects

The Early Learning Centre (ELC) at Beechboro Christian School seeks to create a nurturing and flexible learning environment that fosters curiosity, collaboration, and discovery. Inspired by the notion of a ‘village’, the ELC is conceived as a cluster of interconnected buildings that frame a protected internal courtyard, facilitating both structured and informal interactions between students and educators. The architectural expression is simple and domestic in scale.
Designed in close consultation with educators, the ELC goes beyond the requirements of the brief to enrich the learning experience and enhance community engagement. The inclusion of flexible and adaptable facilities ensures the ELC can respond to the needs of students and teachers now and into the future. By fostering a strong sense of place, supporting innovation in education, and enhancing sustainability, the ELC delivers long lasting value to Beechboro Christian School and the broader community.
