Long day care in Tuart Hill, Perth · babies to 5 years
Little ones, looked after like family.
Play-based learning for babies, toddlers and kindy children, in a centre that has belonged to one local family since 1996. Meals are cooked fresh in our own kitchen, and the educators who greet your child in the morning are the same faces, year after year.
Because we own our building, there's no rent built into your fees. That money goes into the things your child actually notices: their educators, their meals and their play.

"They call me Nonna." – Anna
They learn by playing.
Children are capable, curious learners. Our program gives them real choices, and follows the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Standard.
Play-based learning
Projects grow from what children are curious about, indoors and out, building social, emotional and physical skills along the way.
You see their day
Educators share photos, learning stories and updates through Storypark, so you're part of it even from work.
Every family belongs
Our educators come from all over the world and speak many languages. Your culture, celebrations and input shape the program.
