Inspiring little explorers
Journey Early Learning Lucas Rise is a warm and welcoming centre where our little explorers feel right at home. With many shared values, the transition to Journey was seamless, with many of the educators continuing on with us. Journey Lucas is the ideal place for little adventurers who have a natural sense of curiosity.

Preparing for school
From peek-a-boo to prep, we’re here every step of the way.
School transition is a major focus, and we work hard to ensure this is a smooth process. By providing a safe and secure environment, our children develop confidence, resilience and a strong sense of self for the school journey ahead.
In order to ensure every child is prepared for school, our Kindergarten classrooms are intentionally designed by our Teachers to align with the Journey Standards and the Early Years Learning Framework and Curriculum. Our Government Approved Funded 3 and 4-Year-Old Kindergarten Classrooms are run by ACCEQA approved Early Childhood Teachers and Qualified Educators. Children enrolling in our 4-Year-Old Kinder Program are provided with ongoing support from teachers in preparation for school through our School Readiness Program.
Did you know that your child can attend Journey from 6 weeks to their first day of school?

Hi, I’m Tarly, the Centre Manager at Lucas Rise!
I’ve been working in the Early Childhood sector for eight years, and I’m so excited to join the Journey family. I’m deeply passionate about Early Childhood because I believe in creating meaningful foundations for children to thrive, grow, and discover their unique potential. I can’t wait to meet all the amazing teams, families, and children across the centres and be a part of such a wonderful community.
When I’m not at work, you’ll often find me going for walks or spending time with my horses and family – they’re my happy place. I also love helping others, which might not be a secret, but it’s something I’m passionate about. And if I had to choose just one scoop of ice cream, caramel would definitely be my flavour!
The Journey Early
Learning difference
Community activities
Interacting and connecting with the local community, ensures a bond is maintained between the children and the community, creating a sense of familiarity and belonging. It sets a rewarding scene for every child to rightfully respect their local environment.
Exploring nature-based play
Children love getting out and exploring in nature. It really is the greatest teacher. Nature-based play is a core part of our curriculum. That’s because it teaches them vital life skills including confidence, independence, exploration and cooperation. Playing outside also promotes health and well-being and teaches them respect for the environment.
