Story House Early Learning Maitland

At Story House Early Learning Maitland, our passionate educators bring experience, dedication, and a love for early learning. From Early Childhood Teachers to Trainees, our team is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can thrive.

We keep you connected through the StoryPark platform, sharing photos and updates so you can be part of your child’s learning journey every day.

Meals are lovingly prepared by our in-house chef, Jessie, a former parent of our service with a background in hospitality. Jessie works closely with FeedAustralia to craft fresh, nutritionally balanced menus that are not only delicious but also tailored to meet the dietary, allergy, and cultural needs of each child. We ensure your little one enjoys wholesome, nourishing meals that support their growth and wellbeing.

Pathway to School

Our 3-year-old Long day care and 4-year-old Preschool 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!

STRONG Beginnings Curriculum

We believe every child’s learning journey is unique. That is why our highly qualified teaching teams customise Story House’s STRONG Beginnings Curriculum to each individual child’s learning and development needs. Our learning approach is based on educational research where every day your child can develop 21st-century skills being prepared for school and life. 

This tailored approach nurtures children’s learning and growth as they develop skills such as socialisation, emotional regulation, building resilience, and understanding the importance of caring for their body and brain through our mindfulness and nutrition programs.

At Story House Early Learning Maitland, we believe that every child is unique, and our role is to nurture their individual growth in a supportive and caring environment. We focus on building strong, trusting relationships with each child and their family, ensuring that every learning journey is respected and celebrated. By fostering curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning, we empower children to explore the world around them and develop the confidence to be independent thinkers.

Creating a strong sense of community and inclusivity is at the heart of what we do. Our educators build a warm, welcoming space where children are encouraged to express themselves, develop emotional resilience, and form meaningful social connections. Through these experiences, children gain the skills they need to thrive in both the classroom and life.
