Meet Eden

At Eden Academy, We're more than a childcare centre — we're a family. When our educators feel truly supported and valued, that sense of belonging flows naturally to the children, their families, and the wider community.

At Eden, we understand the demands of working in early childhood education — and we make sure you feel valued every step of the way. From monthly shout-outs and birthday celebrations, to ongoing career support and development, we celebrate you. On top of that, we offer above-award wages and the 10% government retention payment — because at Eden, your work truly matters.

Magical Mountain Creek

A sanctuary where children and educators come together to inspire, explore, and nurture wellbeing. From the moment our white picket gates open at 6:30am until they close at 6:30pm, we fill each day with meaningful moments of joy, learning, and connection.

At Mountain Creek, we care for children through their first six years of life — a time when trust, inclusivity, diversity, and community truly matter.
