Journey Lucas
Monday to Friday
We provide a homely, welcoming and community focused environment where children and families feel safe, supported and connected. Our educational programs celebrate the diverse cultures within our community, including Indian, Sri Lankan and Aboriginal perspectives, helping children build understanding, respect and belonging. Through strong local connections with nearby schools, the library and wider community, we create meaningful learning experiences that support every child to grow with confidence and curiosity.
Your child’s safety and wellbeing are our highest priority at Journey Early Learning Lucas. Our childcare centre maintains a zero-tolerance approach to harm, with strong safeguarding and child protection practices embedded into everyday learning and care.
Our educators are trained in the See, Act, Tell framework, helping create a safe, supportive and nurturing early learning environment where every child feels protected, respected and heard.
Our purpose-designed early learning environments support children through every stage of their childcare and kindergarten journey, encouraging confidence, exploration and school readiness.

A message from your Centre Manager
I have proudly been part of the Journey Early Learning family for 9 years. I began my journey as an educator at Sebastopol, before moving into Lucas as a Lead Educator and then stepping into the Educational Leader role, where I had the opportunity to help open Lucas Rise. I have now been Centre Manager at Lucas for over 3 years.
I hold a Diploma qualification and completed my traineeship while finishing Year 12. I am passionate about building strong relationships with children, families and educators, and creating a supportive centre culture where every child feels safe, valued and confident to learn and grow.
