Nurturing Young Minds through Care and Education
Children are enthusiastic learners, curious about the world around them and eager to explore and experiment. Our learning programs give your child the time and space to learn at their own pace.

Birak Room
From the age of 6 weeks to 2 years old, infants and toddlers have an insatiable appetite for sensory exploration. In the Birak Room, we give them the opportunity to explore their new world in a safe and supportive environment. As your child experiments with language, relationships, ideas, equipment and materials, we’ll help them learn about themselves and their community.
Bunuru Room
Infants aged 12 months to 2 years old are natural learning machines. They’re curious, observant, focused and persistent in their pursuit of new sensory experiences. In the Bunuru Room, we give infants time to play, share ideas, interact with others, and connect with the environment. These are all important elements of their ongoing learning journey.


Djeran Room
At 2 years of age, the world seems both exciting and scary. In the Djeran Room, we give children the time and space to develop skills relating to communication, self-help, higher-order thinking, literacy, numeracy, and movement. Through play-based education, we create a fun and engaging learning environment where your child can thrive and become more at ease with their changing world.
Makuru Room
Toddlers are energetic explorers and experimenters, curious about the world around them and eager to find out how things work. In the Makuru Room, toddlers aged 2.5 to 3.5 years old are given daily opportunities for pretend play, musical experiences, foundational maths, physical development, and language and literacy development, all in a supportive and supervised environment.


Djilba Room
Pre-school-aged children are endlessly inquisitive and ready to tackle bigger learning challenges. The Djilba Room is where children of 3 to 5 years of age can try new things and be challenged in a safe and developmentally appropriate manner. We’ve designed our Djilba Room learning program as both a standalone program where we support children in initiating and directing their own learning and as a complementary program for students who are also attending kindergarten.
