A little about us

Our lovely 1880's villa  is located on Gardiners Road (close to the corner of Johns Road)  in a large country garden with plenty of room for children to run and play.  

Our Preschool room offers separate spaces inside and out for children from two to approximately three and a half years of age. It allows children a place to grow and learn during a time when they are changing and developing so much. Our ratios in the Preschool range between one teacher to four children to one teacher to seven children.  This is much lower than legal required ratios of two staff to 20 children.

With these great ratios we can support the children to develop independence and build relationships.

Our Preschool outdoor environment is large offering access to a covered deck for rainy days, an oversize sandpit, bike track, a fort to climb and slide down as well as swings and spaces to explore.  We set up equipment and resources to accommodate children's interests and stage of development.

Our inside space has easy access to the bathroom and provides children with a quiet, calm environment to sleep on stretcher beds after lunch if needed and a fireplace to keep us warm and cosy in winter.

Our daily routine includes group times with stories, music and movement.  We carefully plan experiences in the indoor and outdoor environments that your child can enjoy during free play such as art, family corner play, construction, playdough, water and sand play etc.
