I am so appreciative of the high level of care over the last year at Holding Hands. My daughter has progressed from the cabin room and into the preschool room with so much confidence and ease thanks to the wonderful, caring staff.<br>All of the educators have taken the time to get to know my daughter and develop a relationship with her, and as a result she truly enjoys her days there.<br>My daughter has gained wonderful friendships, many new skills and continues to learn while finding so much enjoyment in her days at Holding Hands. I’ll forever be grateful for the wonderful start this centre has given her.

Mum son adores his teachers and gets so excited to go to “school”. Management has a genuine care for each child and their family as well as an obvious passion for early learning with a hands on approach. The small centre provides a local community feel and the teachers who have been there 10 years plus show true dedication and experience. Very happy with Holding Hands

Really happy with the warm, fun environment and the calm and caring educators who have been here long term. Management are open communicators and very responsive with suggestions. I like how families are included in programming too.

My grandson goes here and I pick him up regularly. It’s a wonderful centre with caring educators, and a very spacious area for play. Management are always helpful when I have a question

About Holding Hands Early Learning & Preschool

Re-established in 2025, our service is proudly family-owned and operated, offering a warm and personal approach to early learning. As a small Centre, we value close connections and aim to make every family feel like part of our community.

Our service operates Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm in a family-oriented community, just minutes from the Wollongong CBD. Our service is licensed for up to 34 children each day.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive, nurturing and empowering environment. We believe children are curious, capable and competent learners who flourish when their individuality is celebrated. 


The Preschool
The Preschool room caters to children aged 3 to 6 years, providing a stimulating, play-based environment for exploration and learning. Children are encouraged to follow their natural curiosity, explore hands-on materials, and engage in purposeful activities that support their individual development. We offer a rich variety of resources that promote creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving, while also nurturing independence and responsibility. Through carefully designed learning experiences, children build self-confidence, social skills, and a strong sense of autonomy. Our child-centered space supports individual strengths and empowers every child on their educational journey, helping them develop a lifelong love of learning.

The Cabin
The Cabin cares for children aged 12 months to 3 years, providing a nurturing and safe environment for their development. We create a home-like atmosphere where children feel secure and loved, supported by our beautiful team. Our programs stimulate curiosity through structured activities and free play, offering sensory-rich experiences that promote cognitive, social, and emotional growth, laying the foundation for future learning.
