Our Background

Our purpose-built centre features 10 vibrant educational rooms and a fully equipped commercial kitchen, designed to create engaging, nurturing spaces where children can learn, play, and grow. Both our indoor and outdoor environments are thoughtfully designed to blend natural beauty with creative play spaces, encouraging curiosity, exploration, and imagination.

At Happy Trails, we are committed to providing high-quality education and care where curiosity is nurtured, creativity is celebrated, and every child is supported to reach their full potential.

Our Story

Happy Trails Early Learning Centre (HTELC) was named after the beautiful natural surrounds of Lee Point, where many Territory families have long enjoyed adventures from bush to beach.

Happy Trails ELC focuses on providing fun and enriching learning paths for all children, guided by a curriculum shaped by our children, families, and the local Darwin community.

We are here to support families, develop positive relationships and deliver quality early learning in a nurturing environment.
