The Centre

Located at 36 Lamorna Street, our centre is nestled in a quiet residential neighbourhood, providing a calm and welcoming environment for children and families. We are conveniently situated behind Rochedale South State Primary School, with a slight increase in activity during school pick-up times in the afternoon.

Our centre is licensed for 85 children and features just four spacious rooms, allowing for a more intimate and focused learning environment.

• Ground Floor: Home to our Nursery and Toddler rooms, catering to children under 3 years of age.
• Second Floor: Dedicated to our Pre-Kindy and Kindy rooms, supporting children aged 3 years and above.
  
  

Each room has direct access to its own outdoor play area, allowing children to safely explore, learn, and play within their age group.

In the mornings, all children are welcomed into the Toddler Room, and once the educators for the older age groups arrive, children transition to their respective rooms.

Be inspired. Be inspiring. Discover the teacher in you.
