Our centre is in the local community of Beresfield in Newcastle, conveniently located on Milton Street, not far from the Beresfield train station. We recognise that early childhood is a crucial time of development, and we work with children and their families to ensure the best possible start in life.
Our learning environments are nurturing and natural, where each child feels valued and safe to explore, create and communicate. We ensure flexibility and responsiveness to children’s interests, learning capabilities and styles, so they can become confident learners.
We educate and care for children between six weeks and six years old across four indoor learning environments. We believe that children learn best when they are engaged in meaningful play experiences. Play allows children to explore ideas and concepts in a fun environment where they can learn individually and socially with peers and teachers.
