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:

  • 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 talented chefs create nutritious meals inspired by the NSW Munch & Move program - turning healthy eating into an exciting adventure! With fun favourites like Brazilian cheese balls, kids can discover delicious new flavours they’ll love. 

But the fun doesn’t stop there – our thriving vegetable garden is where the magic happens! From digging in the dirt to harvesting fresh veggies and tasting the fruits of their labour, children get hands-on with nature. With a towering banana tree and an abundance of plants to explore, our garden sparks curiosity, fosters a love for healthy eating, and helps kids connect with the world around them in the most delightful way.

So so happy to have found a place at Story House! We’d been attending another center locally that we weren’t 100% happy with, and even after 8 months our beautiful confident boy still hadn’t settled and found his place and we could tell he just wasn’t himself there. After visiting multiple centres and talking to a few friends Story House was recommended to us more than once. Even from our first visit we were smitten. The teachers are gorgeous (and consistent, and welcoming!), the space is well thought out and a joy for the kiddos, the activities set up in the morning are varied and engaging, the program and routine is perfect and even after a week our son has asked to go to Story House rather than his ‘old’ daycare. Thank you guys so much for giving us so much peace of mind that our kiddos are being well taken care of. It’s such a blessing!

We love Storyhouse so much!! Drop offs have never been easier because my son loves it there so much. The educators are warm and friendly and the kids look like they’re having so much fun. We love it!

We've had such a positive experience with Story House! From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcomed, informed, and—most importantly—completely comfortable leaving our little one in their care. What stands out the most is the open communication. It’s clear that the team truly cares—not just about the kids, but about building a real partnership with parents. We’re so grateful to have found a place where our little one feels safe, supported, and happy.
