high-quality care for the families of the Lower Eyre Peninsula
A centre owned by it’s community
Every room programs around the genuine interests of the children in it. Our educators stay flexible — adjusting day to day with our children’s interests, what’s caught their curiosity, and what’s happening in the world around them. That includes celebrations of Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or Grandparents Day; recognising National Reconciliation Week, Families Week or Harmony Day; or simply talking through what a child did on the weekend.
We draw heavily on our own community — joining in local events and exploring the industries that shape life on the Eyre Peninsula, from fishing to farming and agriculture. Programs often include excursions out into the community, and incursions where we bring the community in to teach and share.
A quick note on centre security
The safety of our children, families and educators is always our priority. Each enrolled family is provided with a unique access code to enter through our secure front door. If you’re visiting the centre, simply ring the doorbell to alert our reception team. We kindly ask everyone to ensure the entrance gate is securely closed behind them when entering or leaving.
Our rooms
Three rooms, one promise: play, discovery and bright beginnings at every age and stage.
12 Weeks to 2 Years
Nursery
Meet Toby the Teddy Bear
Our Nursery Room is a nurturing, thoughtfully designed space for your baby’s earliest experiences away from home. With one educator for every four children, your child receives genuinely attentive, individual care. The room includes a separate cot room and its own spacious bathroom, alongside a main play area and dedicated outdoor space thoughtfully designed for the safety needs of our youngest children. When they’re ready, your child will begin gentle visits to the Toddler room with an educator alongside them. You’ll always have a program to look through and contribute to, so you can see exactly how your baby’s day unfolds. Above all, your child is nurtured and supported in a safe and secure environment, giving them the confidence to explore, discover and grow.
2 to 3 Years
toddler
Meet Darcy the Dinosaur
Our Toddler Room supports children aged 2 to 3, with one educator for every five children. The room has a main bathroom plus a separate changing space for children who aren’t yet toilet trained, and shares its yard with the Kindy Room — giving toddlers plenty of room to roam and connect with older children. This is a hands-on, exploratory stage, and our educators encourage every child to “have a go,” building language, social skills and confidence through everyday play. As with every room, you’ll have access to your child’s program and the chance to shape it.
PRE-Kindy
3 to 4 Years
Meet REMI the ROCKET
Our Pre-Kindy and Kindy children learn and play together in a shared room, caring for children from 3 years through to starting school. While the government standard ratio is one educator for every eleven children, wherever possible we prioritise staffing above this requirement, giving our educators greater opportunity for hands-on support, meaningful interactions and individualised learning throughout the day. Children are encouraged to explore, experiment, question, problem-solve and investigate in a safe and supportive environment, building confidence, resilience and independence along the way. Full bathroom facilities are available, with children still completing toilet training supported with care and without fuss. School readiness is woven naturally into our everyday program. Rather than focusing on teaching children to read and write before school, we nurture the foundational skills that help them thrive in the classroom — concentration, independence, communication, curiosity, confidence and a genuine love of learning.
We are currently welcoming expressions of interest in the South Australian Government’s Flying Start 3-Year-Old Preschool program within our Pre-Kindy learning environment.
Flying Start is a teacher-led, play-based preschool program designed specifically for three-year-olds, giving children greater access to quality early learning in the two years before they begin school. Through purposeful play, exploration and child-led discovery, the program supports children to develop confidence, curiosity, communication, social skills and emotional resilience — an approach that aligns naturally with the way we already encourage our children to learn and grow.

Kindy
4 Years to School Age
Meet Tayla the Tugboat
Our Kindy children, aged 4 through to starting school, share a learning environment with our Pre-Kindy children, creating opportunities to learn, play and grow alongside one another. With one educator for every eleven children and our commitment to staffing above minimum requirements wherever possible, we create greater opportunities for individual attention, meaningful connection and hands-on learning.
As school approaches, we focus on building confidence, independence, communication and concentration through purposeful play and everyday experiences. School readiness isn’t about learning to read and write early — it’s about developing the skills, curiosity and confidence children need to feel ready for their next chapter.
