Pathway to School

Our 3-year-old Long day care and 4-year-old Kindergarten programs nurture young learners as they gain confidence, make decisions, and develop emotional strength and social connections. Children learn to collaborate, problem-solve, and express themselves while building key skills in literacy, numeracy, and communication. They also explore healthy choices, personal responsibility, and creative thinking in an engaging and supportive environment.

We provide inquiry-based curriculum through play - across exciting learning areas, including:

• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths)
• Language and Literacy
• Active and Involved Citizens
• Nature Play and Sustainability
• The Arts
• Health and Wellbeing

With a balance of small and whole-group experiences, both indoors and outdoors, children are encouraged to wonder, discover, and grow - preparing them for a bright future ahead!

Our talented in-house chef, Selena, prepares nutritious and delicious meals tailored to each child’s dietary needs and cultural preferences, often using fresh produce from our veggie garden. Children absolutely love her flavourful chicken curry and wholesome muesli slice!

Selena also leads fun cooking lessons that inspire children to explore food, often linking these activities to their current learning programs. These hands-on experiences teach valuable cooking skills, foster a love for healthy eating, and encourage children to discover new flavours.
