That is why our highly qualified teaching teams customise Story House’s STRONG Beginnings Curriculum to each individual child’s learning and development needs. Our learning approach is based on educational research where every day your child can develop 21st-century skills being prepared for school and life.
This tailored approach nurtures children’s learning and growth as they develop skills such as socialisation, emotional regulation, building resilience, and understanding the importance of caring for their body and brain through our mindfulness and nutrition programs.

Centre Reviews

Story House Early learning - we cannot recommend this place more highly! We have been lucky enough to have all three children accepted... Story House Early learning - we cannot recommend this place more highly! We have been lucky enough to have all three children accepted into this centre. Every staff member has made our children feel safe, comfortable and protected especially in times of need. Our children adore the educators, love the rotation of class activities and prefer the chefs food over mums meals most of the time. If there are ever any issues - Gill and Rach at the front desk are always more than happy to work through with you. This centre will forever hold a special place in our hearts not only for the way in which they have cared for our children - but for the community and friendships that we have made over the years with other families and staff. Thank you for all of your hard work guys! 🫶🏻 Read more

We have been lucky enough for the team here to look after all 4 of our kids and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The educators are well trained and incredibly caring and dynamic. Facilities are modern, well designed and fun for all kids and the food is better than what we can cook at home! It's also important to know that the team here are fantastic with kids who have extra needs and go out of their way for them to be happy, well supported and well integrated at all times. Communication is excellent. Read more
