112 Oak Rd, Kirrawee NSW 2232
Open 7:00am to 6:00pm
Architecturally designed, our Kirrawee centre provides a natural haven for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years in the heart of the Sutherland Shire. Featuring dedicated Nursery and Preschool centres, connected by a central staircase, families are immediately transported to a calm oasis, filled with light, space, and surrounded by a lush Children’s Kitchen and Garden.
In the Preschool room, large glass sliding doors fill the early learning rooms with sunlight and encourage children to move seamlessly between indoor and outdoor learning opportunities. The thriving Preschool Children’s Garden, featuring a sandpit, alfresco dining, stingless beehive, hanging egg chairs and free-ranging chicken coop provides a natural paradise for children to explore.
Softness and a sense of tranquillity envelop you as you enter our Nursery space, filled with cushions, soft furnishings, and little nooks where Educators and children can spend quality time together. The expansive undercover outdoor space is sheltered from the sun all day and includes a water play creek, large sandpit, and undulating hills and tunnels which have been cleverly designed to allow children to explore and take risks in a safe and all-weather environment.
