FAQs

Everything you need to know about joining our family.

When are you open?

We are open Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. We close on public holidays and for a short period between Christmas and New Year.

How do I enrol my child?

The best way to start is by booking a tour or sending an online enquiry. We will discuss your child's specific needs and walk you through the enrolment process. Places do fill quickly, so we recommend reaching out early.

What about meals and dietary requirements?

Our on-site chef prepares fresh, nutritious meals every day. We easily cater to all allergies and specific dietary needs. You will always receive our menus so you know exactly what your child is eating.

What is your approach to early learning?

We believe the environment is the third teacher. Our curriculum balances structured school readiness programs with emergent, play-based learning. We focus on building confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love for learning.
