Our small 23-place centre is designed to create a calm, homely atmosphere where children feel safe, confident, and inspired to learn.
We have two dedicated rooms tailored to meet the developmental needs of each age group:

- Preschool Room: Designed for children aged 3 years and over, this room accommodates up to 14 children each day. With a strong focus on school readiness, exploration, and creative expression, our preschoolers thrive in a supportive and enriching setting.
Our daily fee is all-inclusive, meaning there are no hidden extras for the essentials your child needs. We provide:
- Nappies
- Wipes
- Sunscreen
- All bedding
- 3 nutritious meals per day – morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea – freshly prepared to support growing bodies and curious minds.
