How Families Rate Milestones Mudgee
Quality Childcare and Preschool in Mudgee
Milestones Early Learning Mudgee provides high-quality childcare and early education for children aged 0-5 years in a safe, welcoming and community-connected environment. Conveniently located on Court Street and open Monday to Friday from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm, our long day care centre supports local families with flexible hours and a nurturing approach to learning and development.
Our caring, passionate educators are committed to helping every child feel secure, confident, and excited to learn. With thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor learning zones, including a large playground, children enjoy hands-on, play-based learning experiences that support their growth and wellbeing.
Guided by the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, Australia’s most advanced approach to early childhood education, our programs include enriching opportunities in STEM, language, literacy and social-emotional development. Our government-approved preschool program also helps children build the skills they need for a successful transition to school.
We prepare fresh, healthy meals onsite daily to keep growing minds and bodies nourished, and our strong ties with local schools and community groups help children feel a sense of belonging from the very beginning.

Meet Our Team
My name is Clara Alzate, and I’m proud to be the Centre Manager at Milestones Mudgee. With more than 10 years of experience in early childhood education across New South Wales, Western Australia, Victoria, and large Sydney services, I bring a deep passion for quality learning and a strong commitment to the wellbeing of children, families, and educators.
Six years ago, I stepped into leadership roles and discovered how much I value guiding teams and supporting high‑quality practice. As Centre Manager, I hold a genuine sense of responsibility in ensuring every family feels welcomed, respected, and supported from the moment they walk through our doors. I understand the trust families place in us each day, and I approach that trust with care, professionalism, and integrity.
I am especially passionate about educator wellbeing. I believe that when educators feel supported, confident, and valued, they are best placed to build strong, secure relationships with children and families. A team that feels empowered creates a safe, inclusive, and high‑quality learning environment, one where children can thrive socially, emotionally, and developmentally.
Alongside managing the centre, I also take pride in my role as an Educational Leader. I work closely with our educators to bring the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) to life in meaningful, child‑centred ways. This includes supporting curriculum planning, intentional teaching, observations, and ongoing reflection so that our programs genuinely respond to each child’s interests, strengths, and needs. I am committed to collaborative practice and continuous improvement, ensuring our approach to learning remains authentic, inclusive, and aligned with the National Quality Framework.
I look forward to welcoming your family to Milestones Mudgee and supporting your child’s learning journey.
