0-3 Years Program

We strive to provide a play-based curriculum that encourages learning in all developmental domains. Learning opportunities we provide include sensory experiences, construction, imaginative play, music and movement, art and so much more.

3-5 Years Funded Kindergarten Program

Our funded kindergarten program draws on multiple highly regarded early learning philosophies, combining them with incursions by experts in fields such as physical education, animals, dance and indigenous culture.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we play and learn and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and skies. We recognise and celebrate the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia, including their role in the education and care of children. We pay our respects to their elders past and present.
