Inside, our Nursery to Kindergarten/Preschool rooms are designed in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework, offering sensory and play-based learning opportunities. Colourful and stimulating surroundings ensure that children can grow and develop in a nurturing setting. Outdoors, we balance natural and man-made elements to inspire imagination and exploration, featuring sandpits, vegetable patches, mud kitchens, tan bark areas, a water tank, a dry creek bed, bike paths, and ample shade.
We prioritise open communication with families through our Storypark platform, regular family nights, and emailed newsletters.

For babies under 15 months, we provide individual communication books to keep parents informed.

I completed a 20-day placement in the Kinder Room (ages 3-5) at this center, and it was an incredibly challenging experience. My mentor, Luda, was by far the toughest and most difficult mentor I have ever had. Her approach often felt rude, making it an incredibly stressful time for me. However, if I were asked whether I would trust my own child in her care, my answer would be yes. Despite her harsh demeanor, Luda is the most organized and capable early childhood educator I’ve ever encountered. Her professionalism and dedication to the children are unmatched. For her exceptional skills as an educator, I give this experience a 5-star rating. Luda may be tough on trainees, but when it comes to caring for and educating children, she is the best in the field.
