AVAILABLE PROGRAMSIndividual programs to help our children thrive
Nursery (6 weeks - 2 years)
Our nursery spaces are settled, homely rooms where our youngest children — from 6 weeks of age — can explore, rest, and be comforted at their own pace. Rather than a fixed timetable, our educators follow each baby’s own rhythm, shaping feeds, sleeps, and play around what your child needs that day.
Toddlers (2-3 years)
Toddlers are natural explorers — curious, energetic, and beginning to form a strong sense of who they are. Our toddler program is built around that energy rather than trying to contain it. Through hands-on play, music and movement, art, and plenty of room to imagine, children develop the language, social skills, independence, and early problem-solving that carry them into their kindergarten years.
Kindergarten Program
Our 4-year-old kindergarten program prepares children for school — not by drilling skills in isolation, but by building the whole child. Through play, inquiry, and project-based learning, children develop literacy, numeracy, independence, and the emotional confidence to start school genuinely ready. Throughout the year we work closely with families, so the path to school feels supported and something to look forward to.
Pre-Kindergarten Program
Our 3-year-old kindergarten program is where early friendships take root and curiosity really takes off. Through play-based learning, children build emotional awareness, a genuine sense of belonging, and the first foundations of literacy and numeracy — in rooms that feel safe, joyful, and full of possibility.
Engaging Play Spaces
Engaging outdoor and indoor play areas, including vegetable patch and sensory garden to encourage children to explore and learn about sustainable activities.
Seasonal Food Offering
We love fresh produce. We use locally-sourced ingredients to prepare meals that are nutritious, fresh and delicious with varieties that considers the needs of each child including allergies.
