Why Choose Us?
“It’s so calm” and “This feels like a home!” are comments we hear every day from families who visit. With more than 30 years experience in delivering play-based education, we’ve developed flexible routines and practices suitable to each individual child.
Our children have access to multilingual educators, considered materials and resources. We also have the biggest outdoor child care environment in Ryde with real grass and space to run!
Our Philosophy
As educators we acknowledge children are social learners and we need to “practice what we preach”. If we want children to treat one another and their educators compassionately and respectfully then these are attributes we must display in our behaviours towards children, their families, our visitors and our fellow team members. Through clear, unambiguous communication our children will develop strong social and emotional skills.
Play-based Learning
Children's interests are observed and used to design play-based learning opportunities which encourage curiosity, imagination and persistence.
Quality Teachers & Educators
Our team is hand-picked to ensure all children build secure, strong attachments with the people caring for them. Many of our educators have been with us for a number of years, sharing their diverse cultures and language skills.
Creative Learning Spaces
At Cressy Road in Ryde, our child care spaces come to life. Each environment is specifically curated to ensure all children have space to think, create and grow.
My daughter is now 8 and went to Cressy Rd. One thing I always loved was how immersive the learning was. Whether it was building a habitat, recreating the surface of the moon or just being inspired by nature. She still has the same approach to learning today which was inspired early on.Tina
My child attended Cressy Road Multi-Purpose Learning Centre three days per week. It is the only centre in the area that I would recommend. It's very discreet from the front, but wow! It has an unrivaled back garden with chickens, veggie patches, enormous sandpit, amphitheatre and fishing bridge! The play-based programs are fantastic with many extra-curricular programs included in the daily price. Ratios are very low and the pre-school program is awesome.Fiona
