A little about us

Our indoor area has been created by architects who know how kids play and learn. Beautifully equipped with hand selected resources our light and bright interior is designed to stay warm in winter and cool in summer. A uniquely designed ceiling tilt creates interesting shapes and shadows for growing minds and reduces noise reverberation, allowing our children to learn in a quieter, calmer environment.

Outside is even more exciting, with sheltered nooks for mud pie parties, a dual slide and a nature inspired water play feature. With landscaped tracks and play equipment derived from nature there’s plenty of places for kids to get their daily dose of Vitamin D. Our carefully tended garden beds, fruit trees, flowers and natives will keep growing gardeners and explorers busy no matter what the season.

Children adore discovering and learning both inside and out, hence we’ve created plenty of opportunities for both. It is our aim that all children at The Secret Garden receive a wide range of rich learning experiences whilst they feel 'at home' in a genuinely warm and nurturing environment.

Children are encouraged to develop their personal capabilities, strengths, interests and learning styles. Our experienced team of professional Early Childhood Educators strive to ensure each and every child at The Secret Garden LOVES their time at preschool and has their individual needs met with love, patience and understanding. Our teachers encourage children to think for themselves, make decisions and work towards their own solutions, by expressing their own ideas and feelings.

We work together closely with parents and families to ensure all of our children are happy, healthy and fulfilling their absolute potential for learning. We feel it is a privilege to play such an important part in nurturing and guiding your children through their preschool years and we genuinely love what we do.

We hope you will visit us at The Secret Garden soon, but in the meantime please don't hesitate to get in touch by phone or email for a chat.
