Make Your Move!

Our centre is custom-designed to meet the evolving learning needs of children six weeks to six years of age.

As you enter our beautiful centre, you’ll find our state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen as well as our parent lounge, where families can catch up with each other or with our educators over fresh barista-made coffee and a baked treat.

Each of our learning hubs are bright and inviting, filled with rich, warm timber resources and innovative educational materials. Outdoors, our children particularly enjoy adventures around our bike track and playfully stopping at the cubby house. For our green thumbs, our edible gardens provide countless hours of eco-education and fun.
