Licensed for up to 225 children, the service is supported by a passionate and dedicated team of 18 educators who are currently studying across a variety of fields and career pathways.
The service proudly embraces a genuine “home-away-from-home” environment, where strong relationships, fun experiences, and meaningful connections are at the heart of everyday practice. Educators are passionate about extending children’s interests through a blend of planned experiences and spontaneous learning opportunities that encourage creativity, engagement, and growth.
