Make Your Move!
Located at 35 Yale Road, our brand-new centre has been custom-designed to meet the evolving learning needs of children six weeks to six years of age.
As you enter our beautiful centre, you’ll find our state-of-the-art Chef’s kitchen and culinary lesson area, as well as our family lounge where families can connect or meet with Educators over fresh barista coffee and a baked treat.
Our learning hubs are bright and inviting, filled with rich, warm timber resources and innovative educational materials. Each hub leads out to a wonderful outdoor space, where children can enjoy countless hours of fun on the bike track, in the cubbyhouse, or caring for our edible gardens.
Our construction team is working very hard towards opening in late 2024. Stay tuned for further updates by connecting with us on Facebook!
