An exceptional educational program
Led by a highly experienced Early Childhood Teacher
Our educational program is delivered by a team of skilled, caring and attentive educators. Our curriculum is based on Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF), an approved learning framework from the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority (ACEQA).
Every child's developmental journey is recorded through daily journals (sent to parents weekly), observations (sent to parents at end of semester) and a personalised student portfolio containing photos, artwork and other memorable experiences (shared with parents at the end of their child's enrolment).
A meticulously designed food menu
Our in-house chef prepares fresh meals using the best ingredients, every day of the week
Our menu ensures the nutritional requirements of growing children in early childhood settings are being met in accordance with the Australia Dietary Guidelines [NHMRC, 20163].
Children are served an iron-rich breakfast, a nutritious morning-tea, a warm and hearty lunch, and a fun afternoon-tea snack. Our menu includes a variety of 25 unique lunches, featuring several traditional Middle Eastern and European favourites. Check out our menu here.

From fun-filled dress-up days to informative visits by members of the community such as NSW Police, NSW Fire Brigade, there is always something fun around the corner.

Frequently Asked Questions
We aim to address common concerns and queries that parents, caregivers, and educators may encounter.
The service offers care to children between the ages of 2 and 5 years old. However, in many cases, your child can commence 2 months before their 2nd birthday (i.e. at 22 months old).
If your child has an allergy or special dietary requirement, they will be catered for. We take food-allergies very seriously and have strict protocols to ensure that children never come into contact with, or consume foods they are allergic to,
The centre is a nut-free service, meaning that parents of children with nut allergies need not worry about their child coming into contact with nuts or nut-products.
The centre uses halal meats and can cater for other religious requirements as well. Talk to us about your specific circumstances.
We are always above the ratios required under Children's National Law and Regulations. In NSW, the minimum ratio requirements are as follows:
Birth to under 24 months: 1:4 (1 educator to 4 children)
24 months to under 36 months: 1:5 (1 educator to 5 children)
36 months to preschool age: 1:10 (1 educator to 10 children)
Yes, Child Care Subsidies are applied to all eligible parent's fees. We are also approved for the NSW Start Strong Programme that provides even further fee relief to parents of 3 and 4 year olds.
Yes, we care for children with special needs including those with developmental delays. We have a special inclusion support programme that provides focused care to special needs children to enhance their participation in our educational program. Talk to us to find out more.
Yes, our centre has an all-female staff.
Feeling anxious about sending your child to childcare is completely normal. Our educators are qualified and experienced professionals that carry out the roles with a high level of care and maturity. Their expertise in the field of early childhood education and care means that they can be trusted with the most precious thing in your life: your child.
To help ease your anxiety, we have a closed/private social media group to which we post regular updates in the form of photos and videos. You can watch your child learn, explore, eat and play throughout the day. You're also welcome to call your child's educator any time throughout the day to check up on your child.
Parents are reminded that they are not just sending their child to a child-minding service, instead, to an Early Learning Centre: a school, where they will take their first steps in their educational journey.
