Welcome to Garfield Street Children's Centre

Welcome to Garfield Street Children’s Centre

Catering to children aged 0 to 5 years, Garfield Street Children’s Centre is a stand alone service that has been owned and operated by Maria Walsh (Bachelor of Education - Sydney University) for 25 years. Maria is a teaching director and almost half of our team have been with us for 10 years or more. We value our staff and believe that this has supported a higher level of consistency and coherence in our educational programs.

Our service has very generous outdoor play areas as well as plenty of internal space. Outdoor play (weather permitting!) is a fundamental part of our day to day activities.

Our philosophy is strongly individual and family focused and over the years we have played a key role in the lives of many children, their families and siblings. Providing a safe and consistent environment that facilitates learning in the most natural way is what we do best.

Located on Garfield Street, we are opposite Five Dock Coles with easy access to both park and public transport.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

We believe that your child's early years are foundational in their lives. We aim to provide a stimulating program for your child within a caring, safe and happy environment that gives them every opportunity to develop as young people and members of the broader community.


While “family” is the first and most significant influence on the development of any child, our centre aims to complement the role of the family by listening to them and including them as a key part of our centre's community.
