Our six indoor rooms are designed to encourage children’s development at their specific age including nursery, toddler, junior kindergarten and kindergarten.

We enjoy connecting with our local community and children have the opportunity to visit the local park, shops or to local events. We also benefit from a close relationship with neighbouring Morningside State School which extends to our School Readiness program.
