Family-run preschools, home to children aged 2 to 6 years

We bring to the community teacher-led preschool early learning for all our children, during work-friendly hours. And we provide this with our team that stays with us, giving families much valued consistency of care.

Proudly, we offer this excellent quality of care whilst being more affordable than most of the long day care centres in the area.

Our preschool at Neutral Bay has been part of the community for over 35 years. In March 2019, with the original owner and centre manager both retiring, the running of the centre passed to myself, Laura, as director, and my husband who supports our office activities.

Our preschool at Lavender Bay was started in 2023. It is already grounded in the local community, and known by families to be a welcoming, happy place for their children.

Our newly opened Sugarloaf Bay Preschool at Castlecrag continues our mission in bringing to the Willoughby area the same excellent level of care and education that we have become known for. Natalie Khoudair, who was our Centre Manager at Neutral Bay, has become our partner and a co-owner at Sugarloaf Bay. Natalie runs the centre and, along with Laura, builds and trains the team.

We are committed to providing a loving and nurturing home-away-from-home experience. We work in connection with our neighbours — St. Augustine's at Neutral Bay, Christ Church at Lavender Bay, and St James at Castlecrag — and within a Christian framework focus on supporting families and building community.

Most importantly, we celebrate every child's individuality and look to build confidence, independence and creativity throughout their early years.

We are proud of our School Readiness Program — our Early Childhood Teachers create a rich and diverse curriculum for our preschoolers, ensuring the transition to school is as gentle as possible.
