Welcome to Wind In The Willows Child Care Centre
At Wind In The Willows Child Care Centre, our mission is to cultivate a nurturing, relaxed, and family-focused environment that empowers children to embrace their independence. We believe that the foundation of meaningful learning is built on interest-based activities that ignite curiosity and inspire exploration.
Our enthusiastic team of dedicated educators, the majority of whom have been with us for years, is committed to providing a stimulating and challenging educational experience for children aged 9 months to 5 years. We offer a variety of classes, including Nursery, Toddler, Preschool, and tailored School Readiness Programs, designed to cater to the individual needs of each child.
Start Strong Program for Our Preschool Children
We’re proud to offer the Start Strong Program for our preschool-aged children, delivered with government-funded support to ensure every child has the opportunity to access quality early learning before starting kindergarten. This funding enables smaller educator-to-child ratios, enhanced resources, specialist incursions, and targeted professional development for staff — all designed to boost school readiness and close early-learning gaps.
Start Strong enriches our curriculum with intentional, play-based experiences that support the whole child — socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically. It emphasises essential school-ready skills: communication, problem-solving, self-regulation and collaboration — delivered through developmentally appropriate activities tailored to each child’s strengths and needs. By reducing financial barriers, strengthening transitions to school, and offering extra learning supports, the program helps children enter kindergarten confident, curious and ready to succeed.
With over 30 years of experience in Early Childhood Education and Care, we are well-equipped to guide and shape your child's educational journey with expertise and passion.
