Children build confidence, independence and social skills through play, hands-on learning and meaningful experiences. Our engaging indoor and outdoor environments encourage exploration, with open-ended activities, natural play spaces and a veggie garden that inspires curiosity, sustainability and connection with others.
We value strong partnerships with families, because when families and educators work together, children thrive. Through Storypark (our family portal), regular educator conversations, newsletters, and centre updates, we keep you informed and connected, ensuring every family feels valued and truly part of their child's journey with us.
We help children take their best step into school through School ReadY, our specialised literacy program, that builds early language skills. Plus partnerships with local primary schools and a range of community programs, we provide a holistic, wrap-around approach that ensures children, and their families, feel confident, connected, and ready for the journey ahead.
Our 3–4-year-old kindergarten program is delivered across two welcoming learning rooms, each with a capacity of 22 children and an educator-to-child ratio of 1:11, providing a nurturing environment where children can learn, play and build confidence.
Our kindergarten program for children aged 4–5 years is delivered across two spacious learning rooms, each with a capacity of 33 children and an educator-to-child ratio of 1:11, providing a supportive environment for learning, play and school readiness.
Our purpose-built indoor learning spaces are designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and independence. Filled with natural light and open-ended resources, each room provides flexible areas for collaborative play, quiet reflection and hands-on learning.
Our spacious, shaded outdoor environment encourages children to explore, discover and stay active. Featuring a sandpit, cubby house, water play, outdoor chalkboard, age-appropriate play equipment and a yarning circle, children enjoy meaningful learning through outdoor play every day.
Our veggie garden provides hands-on opportunities for children to learn about sustainability, nature and where food comes from. By planting, caring for and harvesting produce, children develop an appreciation for the environment while building confidence and curiosity.
Our School Readiness Program supports children in their 4-year-old kindergarten year to feel confident and prepared for their transition to school. Through engaging, play-based learning, children build important skills in communication, early literacy and numeracy, independence, problem-solving, social connections and emotional wellbeing.
Our Early Years Engagement Support (EYES) Program provides additional support for children who may benefit from extra guidance with their learning, development and wellbeing. Working alongside families and educators, our EYES team helps identify individual needs, provides practical strategies and connects families with relevant services to support each child to thrive.
Our School ReadY Program combines play-based learning with intentional teaching to help children build the skills and confidence they need for a positive start to school. Designed for children attending 3 and 4-year-old kindergarten, the program supports key areas of development, including literacy and language, social skills and emotional wellbeing.
With more than 30 years of experience in early childhood education, I am passionate about creating inclusive, child-centred environments where every child feels safe, valued and supported to thrive. I believe in building strong partnerships with families and the wider community while using my experience to lead high-quality programs that foster children's learning, wellbeing and development.
