Situated within Chatham House, a heritage listed federation house. A new purpose built educational play space surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens, is the ideal location to encourage children's curiosity and exploration.

We are committed to delivering high quality early years education. Everything we do is about empowering children to succeed in life.

We believe children have the right to access rich learning environments that support our inquiry-based pedagogy and educational outcomes. We embrace the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), a national curriculum framework, as the basis for developing our program.

Educational Program & Practice

Our inquiry-based pedagogy is designed to inspire children's natural curiosity to explore, discover, question and imagine as they learn through play. Children's ideas, interests, strengths, and capabilities form the foundation of our curriculum and drive our goal setting process. Our program includes a wide variety of rich learning opportunities across a range of curriculum areas. This also includes regular incursions, excursions, language and music lessons. Our mixed-age environments also provide unique learning opportunities as children learn and challenge each other.

Our Team - Our educators provide provisions to guide, reflect and scaffold meaningful learning to support children in reaching their potential.

Partnerships - We believe partnerships with families provide valuable knowledge and diversity, contributing to our positive learning community. We do this through transparent, clear communication and meaningful engagement with all stakeholders.

High-quality learning environments - The service has been thoughtfully designed in collaboration with leading architects, landscape designers, skilled and experienced early childhood professionals to create an environment that will be nurturing and stimulating, whilst providing appropriate levels of challenge and risk, to engage the natural curiosity and developmental growth for children at every stage.

Strong connection with families - We believe building, strong respectful relationships with families is key to helping children to belong.

All-inclusive service - We feel that no child within our service should go without. This is why we will develop an all-inclusive offering for families. Fresh seasonal menu, formula, nappies and wipes and bedding for all age groups. A high quality educational curriculum that includes a comprehensive transition to school program.
