Campus Overview

Our Turramurra Tennyson Ave campus offers an holistic approach to learning for children aged 18 months – 5 years. Our cottage-style campus has a dedicated outdoor area, under the shade of two established amber trees, where children have plenty of space to explore, create and lead their own play. 

Families at our Turramurra Tennyson Ave campus enjoy –

  •  Our quiet garden space with raised garden beds, a teepee and a compost bin. Our favourite mud kitchen offers sensory, imaginative and exploratory play
  • Our age-based indoor spaces that host an abundance of natural light and are designed to encourage children to learn and grow, at their age and stage of development, in a secure ‘home away from home’ environment.  
  • Connecting with our local community through planned excursions and community activities including regular walks to the local public school, farmers market and sports carnival held at our local oval. Our children enjoy hosting visits from our local fire brigade, doctors and dentists.
