About Froebel St Leonards
Froebel St Leonards is a not-for-profit early learning centre and preschool, located just opposite the new Crows Nest Metro Station. Our centre caters for 99 children aged 6 months to 5 years of age and stretches over 3 levels with a huge rooftop playground for all our children to enjoy.
Our educational program focusses on:
- inquiry-based learning with our Little Scientists program. This program will ignite your child's natural curiosity and encourage them to explore the world surrounding them. Part of our STEM learning program is implemented during excursions for all our age-groups to the local surrounds and beyond – we are so lucky to have beautiful parks nearby.
- immersive language learning program with German as a second community language. Being exposed to more languages will be a boost to your child's cognitive development. A number of our educators are German speakers and speak in German to all children throughout the day. We also celebrate traditions from German-speaking countries such as our annual lantern walk, alongside Australian events and traditions from our diverse community.
- holistic approach to sustainability that extends across environmental, community, and personal domains. We believe that nurturing environmentally conscious practices, fostering a strong sense of community, and supporting individual well-being are all interconnected and essential for long-term impact. Through daily routines, intentional teaching, and meaningful projects, children are empowered to care for their environment, contribute to their communities, and develop lifelong skills to support their own health and wellbeing.
If your child is between 6 months and 2.5 years please join us for one of our FREE Froebel Science Explorer play sessions! All details available here: https://events.humanitix.com/froebel-science-explorers-a-stem-playgroup-2025

We loved the beautiful nursery team, but we had significant difficulties with the toddler team at FROEBEL. The communication was very poor, and our daughter frequently came home with nappy rashes. There were no efforts made to help her settle during drop-off, and we found the overall experience in the toddler room to be neglectful. It seemed that the staff did not genuinely enjoy their work environment. Lastly, there simply aren’t enough German-speaking staff members to even call this daycare bilingual.

Our son loves FROEBEL St Leonards. He started at 8 months, and the educators and centre management were really accommodating to a slow orientation period and helped both him and myself to get comfortable with the environment. He now smiles when we get in the lift, and everyone shows him so much care and affection. It's truly comforting to know that he's well looked after while I can't be with him.
