Petrie  Early Learning Child Care Centre  Petrie - Philosophy  Petrie Early Learning Centre aims to provide a warm, friendly, caring environment in which children are given the opportunity to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually through interaction with staff, peers and other members of society.  We believe that play is the fundamental way children learn about themselves and the world around them and develop programs to assist  children's learning in a creative and fun way.
