Babies
The first day for babies follows their current sleeping and eating routine. This ensures consistency while they settle in and encourages your baby to feel more secure in their new space.
You can enrol your child from six weeks old. Our competent and dependable carers focus on your baby’s basic needs first, allowing supervised time for sleeping, feeding and interacting at their own pace.
As your baby settles in, we’ll introduce play-based learning to spark curiosity and development.
If you’re still breastfeeding, we encourage you to visit during the day for feeding at any time. Alternatively, expressing breastmilk and safely storing it can help maintain milk supply while your baby is at our centre.
Pre-kindy
Children must be two to four years old to enrol in pre-kindy.
Our staff are always on hand to help your child be their best in pre-kindy. Please keep us informed of their home routines so we can create a similar pattern in our centre.
Kindy
It is an exciting time for you and your child as they prepare for their first day of school. We let them explore and grow with the help and guidance of our experienced educators.
