This early learning haven is made up of 6 spacious learning hubs from Nursery right through to Kinder children, where all rooms are set up to inspire even the most inquisitive of minds, educating children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age.

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
6 weeks - 12 months
Our Educators partner with families to ensure each baby’s routine is personalised to meet their individual needs. The nursery children take part in activities within a stimulating learning environment and enjoy group time during their music and movement program, or visits from special guests. Throughout the day, they enjoy taking part in songs and storytelling, sensory activities, and messy play in our light-filled learning hubs. Under the guidance of their Educators, the nursery children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals. During rest time, the nursery children have a nap under a twinkling night sky, accompanied by tranquil music which creates the perfect ambience for quality rest.
2 years - 3 years
Our toddlers enjoy a daily rhythmic routine which assists them to transition between activities throughout the day such as music and movement, yoga, culinary lessons, painting, drawing, singing and dancing, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) based activities. As they learn about the wider world around them, the toddlers are guided by our Educators to cherish and protect the natural world through the centre’s sustainability program. Performing daily, predictable tasks while having fun encourages toddlers to build their self-confidence, communication and social skills. During mealtimes, the toddlers enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
3 years - 4 years
Our Pre-Kinder program is designed to provide curious three-year-olds with a well-rounded play-based learning experience. Supported by qualified and experienced Educators, the children learn key skills such as creative thinking and problem-solving, develop social and emotional skills, as well as early literacy and language skills - which lays the groundwork for success later in life. Throughout the day, the children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities to encourage children to think creatively and critically. During mealtimes, the children enjoy nutritious Chef-prepared meals to fuel their active, growing bodies.
4 years - 6 years
Foundational life skills are pivotal in our Kinder curriculum and underpin the Positive School Transition programs we offer our children. Our Kinder learning journey celebrates the children’s individuality and encourages their love of learning through inspiring and quality play-based opportunities to help them develop memory skills, language and self-regulation, supporting the transition to school and academic learning later on in life. The children also enjoy yoga, visits from special guests, and regular excursions to local parklands. Mealtimes are an opportunity for the children to enjoy social interactions with their friends and Educators, as well as learn about body awareness and nutrition. Practicing independence, the children help to set up, serve, and clear away their dining area. Throughout the day, the Kinder children engage in activities that include literacy and numeracy games, outdoor fun, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). The active Kinder children particularly enjoy the outdoor adventures around the bike track, building volcanoes in the sandpit or expanding their green thumb knowledge, through cultivating the edible gardens that provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.

I sent my (now 11 year old) son here back when he was in daycare, I loved the centre then. My now (nearly 5 year old) has been with the centre for nearly a year and I didn’t think it would be possible, but I love the centre even more. A massive shout out to Wei, the kindy teacher. Incredible, amazing, the BEST at what she does. We have been through a few centres and there’s a reason we came back. Facilities are clean and modern, the centre chef always has fresh and healthy meals for the kids. My 4 year old is thriving since being at this centre, whereas previously every morning was a battle. We now end our nights with “is it daycare tomorrow?” Only to be met with disappointment if the answer is “no, it’s the weekend” I think this is the first centre we’ve ever been to if we get a cheeky telling off for picking our kid up too early! Wei will often remark “no mum it’s too early we’re having fun!” Which our son will echo “mum, make sure tomorrow you pick me up later, after sandwiches okay?” Read more

But as this year continued the stars kept dropping . Firstly they can’t maintain staff which really affects the kids at a young age they need consistency. Yes kids adapt but it’s hard for them to adapt when there’s so much change with staff. Secondly losing Amy centre director and Nat assistant director who both brought so much joy to everyone’s lives at daycare and made it feel like a big family, they always had smiles on their faces and greeted us on arrival . Thirdly the hike of fees, since my son has been there since dec 2022… fees have gone up $23 a day, wages haven’t gotten up that much and the company can’t justify where the money is going.. I hear it’s not to staff! I don’t approve of a certain educator Christina lifting up their top to show me tape on their back and claim it’s lifting my son.. he isn’t even a big 2 year old! I brought this up with the centre admin staff and nothing had been followed up once again.. But the two stars are given to the educators; in Nursery and Tiny tots rooms who have looked after my son, they went above and beyond for him and helped him cope with a bit of separation on drop off and constantly sent updates on how went during the day. Thank you Albee, Michele, Malsha, Jackie , Hayley and Dakota. Read more
