FROEBEL Alexandria Centre overview
FROEBEL Alexandria is a not-for-profit early learning centre and preschool, located in the heart of Sydney Park Village. Our centre caters for 44 children aged 6 months to 5 years of age, with a beautiful outdoor area and garden for our children which even includes a fire pit.
Our philosophy is rooted in progressive ideas developed by Friedrich Froebel, the renowned educator who shaped the kindergarten concept almost 200 years ago. His holistic approach to early learning inspires us even today: child-centred, play-based, in unity with nature.
Our educational program focusses on inquiry-based learning with our Little Scientists program igniting children’s natural curiosity and encouraging them to explore the world surrounding them, thereby fostering their independence and self-esteem. 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 Sydney Park nearby.
A number of our educators are German speakers and implement our immersive language learning program with German as a second community language. They speak with the children in German throughout the day, alongside their English-speaking colleagues, allowing children to pick up the new language very naturally. Supported is our immersive language learning program by German books, songs, games, routines and we also celebrate German traditions such as our annual lantern walk, alongside Australian events and traditions from our diverse team of educators.
We also focus on sustainability at our service, implemented through practices such as providing wet bags and eco-friendly nappies. Education for Sustainable Development is a part of our teaching, with projects such as our Recycling Tree or participating in Clean-up Day.

Our child has been attending Froebel Alexandria for two years, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The team provides an incredibly supportive environment with engaging activities and a thoughtful curriculum, and the centre fosters a real sense of community. Every single educator we have come across has been extremely competent, supportive and above all genuinely caring and kind. Staff retention seems very high, allowing children to develop a real connection with the educators and to feel safe and comfortable. Communication is also excellent. We feel immensely lucky to have found Froebel, and to watch our daughter grow and thrive in such a positive environment. Read more

We have sent our daughter (now in school) and son (attending for 1 year now) and have watched them grow while at the centre. We have such trust in the educators who take take joy in minding our son in the baby room, he is given all the tools to grown in self confidence and develop his language and socialisation. My daughter was there for almost 3 years grew in all ways, to aid her confidence in starting school, she made long lasting friendships and has such fond memories and connections with the educators at the centre. I couldn't recommend Froebel, Alexandria enough!! Read more

We feel so incredibly fortunate to have found Froebel Erskineville for our son. From his very first day, the team has gone above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where he has truly thrived. The educators at Froebel are exceptional – they are not only professional and attentive but also genuinely passionate about early childhood development. Our son has built strong, trusting relationships with his carers, and it’s clear how much they care for him as an individual. A special mention goes to Kristina (Kris), whose kindness, energy, and ability to truly connect with the children has made a huge impact on our son’s experience. He talks about Kristine often and looks forward to seeing her every day. We’re especially impressed with Froebel’s focus on inquiry-based learning and their strong commitment to sustainability and nature-based play. Our son has become so curious and confident, and we’ve noticed remarkable growth in his language, social skills, and independence. The centre itself is beautifully designed, with engaging indoor spaces and an amazing outdoor area where the children can explore, discover, and connect with nature. We couldn’t be happier with the care and education our son is receiving at Froebel Erskineville. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he is in such capable, loving hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Froebel to any family looking for a truly outstanding daycare experience. Read more

Dear Luana, thanks so much for your lovely review and feedback!!! You're being missed at FROEBEL!

I withdrew him after a short period of attending. Reply to your comment. I was extremely disappointed with how frobel dealt with the issue. I felt that you were trying to put the blame on me and my child. We never received an apology. I’m happy to hear that you feel you have addressed the issue with your staff. I think it is the whole culture in the preschool room that needs to change and the way they speak to the children Read more

Our daughter attended Froebel for 3 1/2 years and was always talking about their latest experiment, piece of art and craft, and the friends she had made. It's obvious the educators really care and are invested in how each child is going. The German was an absolute bonus for us as our family has German heritage. Love the overall vibe and the smiles - thanks for everything Froebel Read more

Our four and a half year old has been at the centre for four years now and I’ve always found their care to be exemplary.
