Studios

Nursery 1

We are lucky enough to have two nursery studios to cater for our growing community needs. Our educators build strong connections with children and families knowing that this is often the first introduction to care. Our nurturing educators settle children by focusing on home routines and mimicing these as possible.

Pre-Kindy

Our large studio caters for our 3 to 4 year olds to prepare for the transition to Kindergarten the following year. We are very fortunate to have a Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teacher who has been at the service for over 15 years lead this studio.
