This centre is a family-owned and operated private long day care centre located in the rural area of Orchard Hills. Set on 6.5 acres of open land, the centre provides a unique early learning environment and caters for up to 131 children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.
Purpose built to support high quality early childhood education, the centre features expansive natural outdoor play spaces, including two age specific environments designed to reflect the centre's rural surroundings. These spaces promote sensory exploration, curiosity, and meaningful engagement with nature.
A distinctive aspect of the centre is its integration of farm life into the daily program. Children and educators have opportunities to interact with a variety of animals-including cows, sheep, alpacas, horses, goats, rabbits, and chickens-participate in tractor and trailer rides and explore sustainable play areas that encourage discovery and connection to the natural world.
