I gave Story House Early Learning Tarneit a 10/10 when asked if I would recommend them, and that’s because our experience has been so positive. The educators genuinely care for the children, creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment every day. My kids are excited to go, and it gives me great peace of mind knowing they’re in such capable hands. Communication with families is always clear and supportive, and I feel included in my children’s learning journey. The programs are thoughtful, fun, and tailored to their needs, which has helped both of them grow in confidence and skills. I would happily recommend Story House Tarneit to any family looking for a centre that balances professionalism with genuine warmth and care.

Our passionate and highly qualified educators, including three dedicated Early Childhood Teachers (ECTs), bring energy, expertise, and heart to everything they do! They’re committed to delivering exceptional care and personalised learning programs while building strong, trusting relationships with families.

Every child is valued, supported, and nurtured in our care. With a love for learning themselves, our team embraces continuous professional development, always striving to provide the best possible early education experience.

Health & nutrition

Our talented in-house chef crafts a delicious and nutritious multicultural menu, featuring favourites like Jamaican rice, Korean beef bulgogi, and Indian butter chicken. Every meal is thoughtfully prepared to cater to all dietary and allergy needs, ensuring every child enjoys safe, wholesome, and flavourful food that supports their growth and wellbeing.

We make healthy eating fun and exciting! It’s woven into our curriculum and daily routines, with interactive cooking classes, menu development, and lively discussions about food choices and culture. Educators lead by example, showing how healthy eating can be delicious and enjoyable. Meal times are always a social highlight, where children learn, share, and savour their food together in a positive, happy atmosphere!

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Our 3-year-old Kindergarten and 4-year-old Pre-Prep programs nurture young learners as they gain confidence, make decisions, and develop emotional strength and social connections. Children learn to collaborate, problem-solve, and express themselves while building key skills in literacy, numeracy, and communication. They also explore healthy choices, personal responsibility, and creative thinking in an engaging and supportive environment.

We provide inquiry-based curriculum through play - across exciting learning areas, including:

  • STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths)
  • Language and Literacy
  • Active and Involved Citizens
  • Nature Play and Sustainability
  • The Arts
  • Health and Wellbeing

With a balance of small and whole-group experiences, both indoors and outdoors, children are encouraged to wonder, discover, and grow - preparing them for a bright future ahead!

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

STRONG Beginnings Curriculum

We believe every child’s learning journey is unique. 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.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

We recognise the important role families play in a child’s learning journey. By fostering strong community connections, we create an open, collaborative environment where parents and educators work together. We encourage ongoing communication and invite families to participate in activities, events, and celebrations throughout the year.

Educators at Story House Early Learning use the StoryPark platform to communicate with parents. They share photos and stories on this secure platform to ensure parents can feel part of their child’s day.

My son has been attending this daycare since he was 10 months old, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff are all friendly, approachable, and genuinely care for his well-being and development. It's been reassuring to know he's in such a warm and supportive environment. I’ve never had any issues with the centre or the service provided, and I truly appreciate the nurturing atmosphere they've created.
