Frequently Asked Questions

What age groups do you welcome?
+

We welcome children from six months through to school age, across four rooms grouped by developmental stage rather than birthday alone.

What kind of meals are provided for the children?
+

All meals are prepared fresh on site and are kosher. Children receive morning tea, a hot lunch, and afternoon tea, with menus rotated seasonally and allergies catered for.

What are your operating hours?
+

We are open Monday to Thursday, 7:30am to 6pm. On Fridays we close at 5pm in summer and 4:15pm in winter. We are open on public holidays and closed on Jewish holidays.

How do you help children settle in?
+

Every family starts with two orientation visits before their first full day. Your child is paired with a key educator who becomes their steady point of connection while they find their feet.

Do you offer government subsidies?
+

Yes. We are an approved provider, so eligible families can access the Child Care Subsidy. We can walk you through what your out of pocket cost would look like.

How do you keep parents updated during the day?
+

Educators share photos, meals, sleeps, and learning moments through our parent app, and there is always time for a proper conversation at pick up.
