Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Castle Hill Primary, supporting a smooth transition to school.
We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.
Our Learning Environments
Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:
- Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
- Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.
- Preschool (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.
We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.
Innovative Early Learning Programs
Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:
- Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
- Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
- Personalised learning plans for each child.
- Local school connections.
We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

First Grammar Castle hill is our 2nd home..It all started 5 years ago when we enrolled my eldest daughter to the centre we were all new in the area had no idea were to find a good preschool until the moment we walked into the centre we were so welcomed..all the educators and Jean (the director of the centre)were very supportive and encouraging,helping my daughter to get ready for big school. Early of 2025 it was also time for my 3 years old son to join First grammar Castle hill. I could never wish for a better childcare centre,from the Educators to the environment of learning plus communication to the parents of your child’s learning and wellbeing is outstanding. First Grammar Castle hill you deserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First Grammar Castle Hill is a lovely place like a family. It is relatively not a “fancy” childcare compared to the new ones that have a lot of fancy facilities, but it has the most important, which is what I value most, a group of passionate and lovely educators, including the centre manager. My son built connection with educators very quickly. Every kid knows and likes the centre manager Jean. The kids could knock her office’s door and sit in her office having a chat at any time. All kids are very behaved and polite. There are a lot of things that I like about First Grammar Castle Hill, e.g. the way they treat kids, the way they help new kids settle in, and the value they have to teach kids. I am going to have a second kid, and I definitely will send her to here too.
Response from the owner3 months agoHi Tian, Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback! At First Grammar Castle Hill, we truly believe it’s the people that make a centre feel like home—and we’re thrilled to hear how quickly your son connected with our educators and Centre Manager, Jean. It means the world to know you value our caring approach and community spirit. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and your wonderful review inspires our team to keep up the great work every day.

We enrolled our boys for 5 months as we had just moved to the area and our oldest was starting school the following year. We loved the environment that was created and my boys especially loved the outdoor activities they did every day. In the short time we were there, my oldest even made a close new friend that he will be attending the same primary school with. Very thankful for the care and attention that Jean and the lovely educators provide every day!
