Our Educators can transport children to and from other educational activities using your car if your insurance covers the Educators use of your vehicle.
Children who access our service do not need to be immunised if they are not accessing the Child Care Subsidy. This means non-immunised children can access early learning and care in their own home, or join with another family of children who are not immunised as part of a Family Co-op. All of our Educators are regularly immunised.
Our curriculum is tailored to the needs of each child. This means that our Educators spend time each week preparing a program according to each child’s stage of learning and development so that no child within the program misses out on having their needs met.
We occasionally have a waitlist, so please contact us to find out if we have availability for the day and time you are after. Once you have paid for your Home Assessment fee you will then be placed on our waitlist.
If you have only one or two children, you can participate in a Family Co-op to bring down your cost. We can pair you with another family or you can find another family to join with yourself.

Yes of course, it is your home and our Educators are happy to take care of all of your child’s education and care needs even if you are at home.

Yes. We believe the Educator’s relationship with your child is crucial to your child’s success. We aim to allocate the same Educator to each family unless you are happy to have multiple Educators.
If for any reason you want to change Educators, we have various feedback opportunities to discuss how we can meet your needs and find the best Educator to meet your family’s needs.
Our team of experienced childcare professionals considers the needs of your child and your family when determining who would be the right Educator for your family.
