Rooms

Our emphasis is always on play, believing that learning should be fun. We work in collaboration with families and our community to nurture children’s growth and development so they can learn and discover in a positive secure environment.

Our Nursery is a home-like modern lounge room which caters for infants under the age of 2. Our Nursery has been developed to create a sense of warmth and security from which our youngest children can begin to explore their world. Every child is valued and in order to ensure a successful start to your child’s education journey teachers will establish a relationship with you ensuring your child’s routine is similar to home and all their care-giving and emotional needs are met.
