Child care Five Dock
Learn & Laugh Five Dock is a trusted early learning centre located on Kings Road. Positioned in Sydney’s Inner West, our centre is ideally placed for families commuting through the area or living in the nearby residential pockets of Canada Bay, Russell Lea, Rodd Point and Burwood.
Conveniently located, our centre provides a calm and secure setting where children can learn and play away from the hustle and bustle. Just moments from Parramata Road and the M4, drop-off and pick-up are quick and easy for families commuting to and from work.
Our centre has long served the local community. Part of the Learn & Laugh family since 2021.
We care for just 47 children each day, allowing us to build genuine relationships with every child and family.
A proud family-run service, Five Dock has retained its warm, community-focused feel while benefiting from recent modern upgrades.
Our outdoor learning environment has recently been thoughtfully redesigned to create an even more engaging and inspiring space for children to explore. The upgraded backyard now features a brand-new sandpit, slide, and cubby house, encouraging imaginative play, physical activity, and social interaction. While introducing these exciting new play areas, we have carefully preserved the beautiful leafy surrounds that make our centre so special. The result is a natural, inviting environment where children can connect with nature, learn through play, and enjoy outdoor experiences in a safe, stimulating setting.
The building still retains the feel of a warm welcoming home and includes 2 specially designed rooms which have been developed to allow children to explore, learn and be nurtured.
Each room offers a carefully designed program that supports children’s individual development through play-based learning. Our educational programs encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning while helping children develop the skills they need to thrive.
Our dedicated team of warm and nurturing educators are passionate about building strong relationships with every child, ensuring they feel supported, encouraged, and celebrated throughout their learning journey.
We are committed to creating a welcoming community where children flourish, families feel connected, and every child is given the best possible start to their learning journey.

Hi, I am Clare, the Director of Learn and Laugh Fivedock. With a heartfelt passion for early childhood education and over 15 years of experience in the childcare industry, I am eager to bring my expertise and dedication to this wonderful community.
I have been a part of the Learn and Laugh family, since 2020, serving as both a Room Leader and a Centre 2IC. My professional journey has taken me across the globe, from Ireland to Perth, W.A, and finally to Sydney. I hold a diploma in early childhood education and have had the privilege of working in various centres that follo
w the Reggio Emilia and Montessori approaches. These methodologies are close to my heart as they provide children with opportunities to develop resilience, independence, and curiosity.
On a personal note, I am a proud mother of three. I deeply understand the importance of providing a safe, welcoming environment where children can grow and learn. My goal is to make our Five Dock centre a true “home away from home” for all our little ones, where they feel cherished and inspired every day.
I look forward to meeting each of you and working together to create a nurturing and enriching experience for your children at Learn and Laugh Fivedock.
