My daughter started with additional health needs and the staff happily put in place her health care plan requirements. I had complete trust in the centre starting from the open communication with Emma and Sammy (Director & Assistant Director) throughout our year and our changing needs and it flows through to the educators on the floor. Nursery 1 is an amazing family to be part of with Emma, Danae, Jo and Shakaya being the main educators (however there are so many names I wish to add that we see throughout the day too). I love hearing about what has happened with a daily journal and regular magical moment stories. Having a chat with the educators on drop off/pick up give a lot of insight into my daughters day and shows how much they know my daughter and her likes/dislikes and individual personality. I look forward to our next few years as part of the Eden family.

A special thank you to Miss Thao, Miss Tana, Miss Ramita, Miss Reena, Miss Zade, and Miss Kimi for making the classroom a second home for our daughter. She talks about her teachers all the time and even misses them during holidays! She absolutely loves going to childcare every day.
The centre is always clean and welcoming, with new and creative activities every day.
A big thank you also to Amanda, the Centre Director, for always maintaining such open and supportive communication with us.
We truly appreciate everything you do! ❤️

A special mention to Emma Botting, who is an absolutely outstanding child carer. Her warmth, patience and genuine care shine through, and it's clear she goes above and beyond to make the children feel safe, happy and loved. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention she gives our little one.
We couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Eden Academy Aldinga!

Frequently Asked Questions Eden Academy FAQs
How does CCS work?
The Child Care Subsidy will be paid directly to providers to be passed on to families as a fee reduction. Families will make a co-contribution to their child care fees and pay to the provider the difference between the fee charged and the subsidised amount. You will need to make a claim online via Services Australia for Child Care Subsidy and will asked to provide your Family income and Activity Hours (work, study, volunteer, travel time from home to work) to determine your CCS entitlements % and number of CCS eligible hours.
How do I go on the waitlist?
You will need to make an online enquiry via our website where the Enrolments Team will then send you an email with some centre specific information, you will then be required to respond to the email you receive and request to be added to the waitlist for further communication.
How does the waitlist work?
If there is a waitlist, families who have been on the waitlist the longest will be offered the first available positions. Your child's name will automatically roll over to the next age group as they age. You will be required periodically to confirm you wish to remain on the waitlist to ensure our records are kept up to date with those families interested in enrolment with Eden Academy.
How long is the wait?
Waitlist times depend on centre availability and the number of other families who are on the list.

🌿 Our children and staff at Eden Academy Newton are so lucky to be located right next to Thorndon Park! 🌿✨ Our preschool children attend Bush Kindy excursions where they walk along the nature trail, explore the playground, and learn about the Kaurna language and the names of local birds. 🍃🦜 Bush Kindy provides hands-on learning experiences that foster curiosity, confidence, and a deep connection with nature. We love seeing our little explorers thrive in the great outdoors! 💚 #edenacademy #earlychildhood #earlychildhoodeducation #educatorthings #australianearlylearning #earlylearning #eden #childcare #careforkids #bushkindy #outdoorlearning

Celebrating Colour, Culture and Connection 🌈 Holi at Eden Academy was a vibrant celebration of joy, togetherness, and the beauty of cultural diversity. Our children explored the colours of Holi through playful activities, creative expression, and shared moments of happiness — all in a way that was meaningful and age-appropriate. At Eden, we believe in creating inclusive learning environments where every child’s background is respected, celebrated, and woven into their learning journey. Happy Holi from all of us! 💛 #edenacademy #earlychildhood #earlychildhoodeducation #educatorthings #australianearlylearning #earlylearning #childcare #careforkids #holi #culturalcelebration #belongingbeingbecoming #diversityandinclusion

Happy International Dance Day! 💃🕺 Today we celebrate the joy of movement, rhythm and self-expression — because at Eden, dance isn’t just about having fun (though we definitely do that) — it’s also a powerful way to build gross motor skills, coordination and confidence. Whether it’s a wiggly warm-up, a twirl with a friend or a spontaneous disco moment, dance helps inspire creativity and brings our learning spaces to life. So go on, press play and have a little boogie with your little one today — you might just spark something magical ✨ #edenacademy #earlychildhood #earlychildhoodeducation #educatorthings #australianearlylearning #earlylearning #eden #childcare #careforkids #internationaldanceday #grossmotordevelopment #creativeplay
