We’re passionate about family involvement! Through the StoryPark platform, our educators share vibrant photos and stories, keeping parents connected and engaged in their child’s day. It’s a secure, easy way for families to stay part of the learning journey, no matter where they are.

Chef Sarita, our in-house culinary whiz, prepares fresh, nutritious meals every day, delighting children with delicious favourites like lasagna, shepherd’s pie, spaghetti, muffins, and pancakes. We also make sure to accommodate allergies and cultural dietary needs, so every child enjoys a safe, tasty meal.

Sarita gets the kids involved too, with fun hands-on cooking activities like making sausage rolls and lamb kofta, sparking their curiosity about food and nutrition. We’re all about supporting our community by sourcing ingredients locally, promoting sustainability while reducing our reliance on big suppliers.

STRONG Beginnings Curriculum

We believe every child’s learning journey is unique. That is why our highly qualified teaching teams customise Story House’s STRONG Beginnings Curriculum to each individual child’s learning and development needs. Our learning approach is based on educational research where every day your child can develop 21st-century skills being prepared for school and life. 

This tailored approach nurtures children’s learning and growth as they develop skills such as socialisation, emotional regulation, building resilience, and understanding the importance of caring for their body and brain through our mindfulness and nutrition programs.

Pathway to School

Our 3-year-old Long day care and 4-year-old Preschool programs nurture young learners as they gain confidence, make decisions, and develop emotional strength and social connections. Children learn to collaborate, problem-solve, and express themselves while building key skills in literacy, numeracy, and communication. They also explore healthy choices, personal responsibility, and creative thinking in an engaging and supportive environment.

We provide inquiry-based curriculum through play - across exciting learning areas, including:

• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths)
• Language and Literacy
• Active and Involved Citizens
• Nature Play and Sustainability
• The Arts
• Health and Wellbeing

With a balance of small and whole-group experiences, both indoors and outdoors, children are encouraged to wonder, discover, and grow - preparing them for a bright future ahead!
