This isn’t just a daycare. Eden Academy at Hamilton is a genuine community. The educators and management create an environment where the children feel safe, encouraged, respected and very loved. Highly recommend.

    🌿 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

    👐✨ Sensory play isn’t just fun—it’s essential for learning! ✨👐 From squishing and scooping to splashing and exploring, sensory play engages children’s senses, helping to develop fine motor skills, creativity, and cognitive growth. 🌿💡 It encourages problem-solving, supports language development, and even promotes emotional regulation. At Eden Academy, we love creating hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and joy! 💚 What’s your child’s favourite sensory activity? #edenacademy #earlychildhood #earlychildhoodeducation #educatorthings #australianearlylearning #earlylearning #eden #childcare #careforkids #sensoryplay #learningthroughplay

    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

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
