As a solo parent, reliable childcare isn’t just childcare — it’s a lifeline. Storyhouse Maitland has truly been a second set of hands for my family, and I’m incredibly grateful for the warmth, flexibility and genuine care they provide. What they do exceptionally well: • Low staff turnover & real relationships The team is consistent, which means children build strong, secure connections. That stability makes a huge difference. • They truly know the children Educators don’t just know names — they understand personalities, interests and how to support each child on both easy and challenging days. • Warm, nurturing environment You can feel the genuine care. Children are greeted with patience, kindness and respect, and it shows in their confidence and excitement to attend. • Above-and-beyond flexibility They’ve gone out of their way to accommodate casual days so I can maintain stable work. This level of support is rare and priceless for working parents. • Safety & trust There is complete assurance that children are safe, valued, and looked after emotionally, socially and physically. That peace of mind is everything. • Growth through play-based learning The progress in communication, independence and learning is clear and steady. Their approach feels intentional, balanced and child-led. • Outstanding outdoor space Real grass, big open areas, lots of activity stations — perfect for energetic kids who need to move, explore, build and create beyond just paint and paper. • Celebration of special days From cultural events to fun dress-ups and engaging learning activities, you can feel the sense of community they create. Areas for improvement (minor suggestions): • A simple end-of-year folder for artworks would help families keep and protect their children’s creations instead of loose papers in bags. • A more inclusive review of the “No Vax, No Play” policy would reflect the centre’s values of respect for individual family circumstances. Overall, Storyhouse Maitland is a caring, safe and supportive service that genuinely goes above and beyond for children and families. The educators love what they do, and it shows every day. 💛

At Story House Early Learning Maitland, we’re passionate about nurturing children’s development through engaging, play-based learning programs. Children are inspired to be curious through our inquiry learning approach, where they will naturally explore, wonder, question, and make sense of the world around them.
Enriching Programs & Activities
At Story House Early Learning Maitland, our passionate educators bring experience, dedication, and a love for early learning. From Early Childhood Teachers to Trainees, our team is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can thrive.
We keep you connected through the StoryPark platform, sharing photos and updates so you can be part of your child’s learning journey every day.
Meals are lovingly prepared by our in-house chef, Jessie, a former parent of our service with a background in hospitality. Jessie works closely with FeedAustralia to craft fresh, nutritionally balanced menus that are not only delicious but also tailored to meet the dietary, allergy, and cultural needs of each child. We ensure your little one enjoys wholesome, nourishing meals that support their growth and wellbeing.
Pathway to School
Our 3-year-old Long day care and 4-year-old Preschool 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:
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!
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.
At Story House Early Learning Maitland, we believe that every child is unique, and our role is to nurture their individual growth in a supportive and caring environment. We focus on building strong, trusting relationships with each child and their family, ensuring that every learning journey is respected and celebrated. By fostering curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning, we empower children to explore the world around them and develop the confidence to be independent thinkers.
Creating a strong sense of community and inclusivity is at the heart of what we do. Our educators build a warm, welcoming space where children are encouraged to express themselves, develop emotional resilience, and form meaningful social connections. Through these experiences, children gain the skills they need to thrive in both the classroom and life.
