We recognise and pay respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, their ancestors, the elders past, present and future from the different First Nations across this country. We acknowledge the importance of connection to land, culture, spirituality, ancestry, family and community for the wellbeing of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families.
The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.

Rooms
At our centre, we proudly embrace a play-based, child-led program that centres around an emergent curriculum. Our pedagogical philosophy places a high value on the unique interests, ideas, and curiosity of each child. We prioritize the significance of flexible planning, urging our educators to keenly observe, actively listen, and wholeheartedly engage with the children. This approach allows us to seamlessly build upon their interests and experiences, fostering a dynamic and enriching learning environment.
Our centre accommodates up to 65 children daily, strategically divided into five distinct rooms. Each room is tailored to address specific developmental needs, with programs thoughtfully designed to align with the diverse ages and stages of children's development.
Babies
Our Babies Room is an extremely important place where many children begin their childcare journey. Staff provide a warm, caring and nurturing environment that builds trusting and secure relationships with children and families. Babies can begin to explore a range of experiences to further enhance their increasing curiosity and physical abilities.
Toddlers
Here we aim to develop relationships. Children are encouraged to become confident and independent by nurturing curiosity, imagination and self-help skills. Allowing children to play, explore, interact and make connections with their environment is crucial to a child's early learning achievements.
Pre-Kindy
In this room, staff provide opportunities for growth and learning though a play based programme. Children engage in numerous activities throughout the day and gain many self-help skills including feeding, dressing and toileting in preparation for their move to the Kindy room. Experienced staff continue to foster, enhance and guide the children's development.
Kindy
Both Kindy rooms offer a range of experiences such as art, creativity, science, mathematics, language, literacy, social health and gross motor skills. Guided by our early childhood teacher and educators, we foster the growth of each child's independence by allowing children to choose their own activities and experiences and provide a safe, stable environment that promotes and encourages learning.
Kindy 4-5 yrs
Children turning 4 years old transition to the older Kindy room which is to prepare the children for entering main stream primary school. We have an Early Childhood Teacher who prepares and guides the children in line with the Early Years Framework.
