At Story House Early Learning Nunawading, we offer a diverse range of programs designed to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and create meaningful learning experiences for every child.

• Excursions: We offer exciting opportunities for children to explore beyond the classroom, including bush kinder, intergenerational program, park picnics, library visits, and community walks with prams.
• Extra-Curricular Activities: Our diverse programs feature weekly creative arts class, mindfulness sessions, cooking class, yoga, and music sessions all held in our community room. We also provide tailored language programs to support each child’s individual learning journey.
• Cooking Classes: Led by Chef Jimmy, children gain hands-on experience in the kitchen, developing essential cooking skills while learning about healthy nutrition. They also harvest fresh vegetables and explore sustainability through gardening in our veggie patch.
• Inquiry-Based Programs: Through an inquiry-based approach, children are encouraged to be curious, explore, wonder, and ask questions—helping them make sense of the world in a natural and meaningful way.

Our team is a dynamic and passionate group of early childhood teachers, lead educators, and educators who bring experience, care, and energy to everything we do. With team members speaking multiple languages, including English, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Hindi, we celebrate cultural diversity and ensure every child feels understood and supported.

We’re all about building genuine, meaningful connections, creating a safe, nurturing space where every child feels valued and respected. Our strong sense of community shines through in the positive relationships between educators, children, and families, making our centre a warm and welcoming place for all.

At Story House Early Learning, we keep you involved and excited about your child’s journey through the StoryPark platform, sharing vibrant photos and stories so you can be part of every special moment in their day!

Pathway to School

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!

Our amazing Chef Jimmy whips up fresh, nutritious meals every day, catering to all dietary preferences, including tasty vegetarian options. Inspired by family suggestions and kids’ favourite foods, our rotating menu keeps things exciting and ensures every meal is something to look forward to!

To make mealtime even more fun, we’ve introduced a ‘Children’s Choice Day,’ where kids get to vote on what’s on the menu. For our precious little ones under 12 months old, we offer a special menu with purees, mashes, and soft foods, all carefully designed to support their growth and development.
