More Than Just Care

Located in the heart of Manilla, our purpose-built centre provides high-quality early childhood education for children aged six weeks to six years.

We combine a warm, family atmosphere with the professionalism and standards you’d expect from an accredited long day care service.

Opportunities for creativity, curiosity, and discovery every day

Our programs are designed to spark curiosity and inspire creativity, giving children the freedom to experiment, imagine, and learn through hands-on experiences.

Learning and Care For Every Age

We believe children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful connection. Our educators create rich, engaging experiences that nurture each child’s individuality, guided by the National Quality Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework – Belonging, Being and Becoming. Every day is designed to spark curiosity, encourage creativity, and build confidence through play-based learning.

Our programs balance play, structure, and discovery to help every child grow at their own pace. We offer two key learning environments tailored to each developmental stage.
