Our Preschool is situated in a quiet, secluded garden setting behind Syndal shops in Glen Waverley. Our large, shady outdoor learning environment provides wonderful spaces for your child to be active and to explore. The spacious sunsmart outdoor area incorporates large shady trees, a bali hut and cubby house, a large rubber track for wheeled equipment, as well as a vast array of climbing, crawling, and balancing equipment, plus a lot of space to run.

Our grounds have recently been renovated with natural materials which include a very large, shaded sand pit, swings, rocks to climb over, slide down and crawl under, as well as an amphitheatre and many other fabulous zones for play.

As of 2021, our Preschool has been ranked as Exceeding in all 7 assessment areas of the National Quality Standard, meaning we are recognised as being exceptionally equipped to support children in their early learning, and help them thrive in their given environment.

Each play-based program is led by an experienced and qualified Teacher, supported by dedicated, tertiary-qualified Educators. Our teaching team focus on providing stimulating and creative programs, while catering for individual needs and interests, to ensure children feel happy, cared for and confident.

You are welcome to come and observe our Preschool in operation at any time. However, we recommend that you make an appointment to ensure someone is available to answer any queries you may have.
