About Eskay Kids - Springfield Child Care and Early Education Centre

Welcome to Eskay Kids Springfield – where the world slows down, and childhood is truly honoured.

At Eskay Kids, we don’t rush. We don’t herd. We don’t follow cookie-cutter routines.
Instead, we follow the child - into the bush, into the sandpit, into conversations that matter.

Our Springfield centre is a hidden gem - tucked into the community for over 13 years, deeply loved by families who value real connection, real play, and real growth.

We offer:
* Daily outdoor play in nature-rich environments (mud kitchens, cubbies, gardens)
* Child-led learning guided by the science of brain development
* Strong emotional connections through consistent, nurturing educators
* Progressive mealtimes and flexible routines that honour children's natural rhythms
* Floor books and scrapbooks (not digital tick-boxes) to tell each child’s learning story
* Primary care group relationships that foster deep trust and emotional safety

We believe in:

  • Listening deeply.
  • Letting children take the lead.
  • Creating spaces that feel like home - not institutions.

We’re not a franchise. We’re not about flash.
We’re about soul.

Come see why so many families say, “It just feels different here.”

As a family who has no family support locally relationships and care was highest priority to me when looking at daycare for my girls. I trialed a few daycares in the area with Eskay standing head & shoulders above the rest. The genuine care and affection that is experienced by the children from the educators is akin to family; with all educators being present and safe no matter the *big* emotion of the child. You can see the strong relationships between educators and children as soon as you enter the daycare. The second deciding factor for me is the choices made by educators and the facility are back by science. From outdoor play & dirt exposure, to free play and freedom to explore independence and identity, to more structured activities and the food all has evidence to show it is best practice for our children. We couldn’t be happier with our 3+ year experience and would recommend Eskay to everyone. 10/10

Response from the owner8 months ago

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous words. It means the world to us to know that your family has felt truly supported and connected during your time at Springfield. Building strong, genuine relationships is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re so glad that’s been your experience. It’s wonderful to hear that our educators have become like an extension of your family - holding space for big emotions, celebrating independence, and supporting each child’s growth with warmth and care. We’re also incredibly proud to offer an environment that reflects best practice and is grounded in evidence-based approaches. It’s lovely to hear how much you value that too. Thank you again for trusting us with your girls over the past three years. It’s been a privilege to be part of their journey, and your recommendation means more than we can say. The Springfield Team :)
