Heath Road Early Learning Centre
ONGOING / Leppington, NSW
Heath Road Early Learning Centre represents a thoughtful approach to educational design in Sydney’s burgeoning southwest growth corridor.
Embracing the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which values children as capable, resourceful learners, the thoughtfully designed facility serves up to 136 children aged 0-5 years while prioritizing sustainability and community integration.
Overlapping Rooms, Open Possibilities
Flexible foyers and dining areas transform into a generous communal hub.
With its playful, welcoming façade facing Heath Road, the building’s intuitive design naturally guides visitors into a versatile space where overlapping foyer and dining areas create a generous multi-functional community hub.

“This central “hearth” connects children and educators, linking the playground experience with the broader neighbourhood and establishing the facility as a vital community centrepiece.”
The central outdoor play yard encourages self-exploration and physical development while maintaining universal accessibility.
Inside, the children’s spaces feature thoughtfully designed perimeters that frame specific views and create serene transitions to adjacent courtyard gardens. These edges offer valuable moments of tranquillity – opportunities for reflection and regrouping amid the natural energy of early childhood environments.
This project represents the first of three new facilities for a developer-operator partnership, showcasing how purpose-built educational spaces can simultaneously serve pedagogical excellence, community building, and sustainable development in rapidly growing urban regions.
