Friendly, family run centre. Our boy attended Hippos for over 2 years and they always accommodated to our needs. Can only recommend.

I cannot thank Heike and her wonderful staff enough for the amazing care they take of my two children. They are kind, caring, enthusiastic and so professional. The kids participate in the most amazing learning experiences and are constantly learning so many new skills. We are so pleased we made the choice to send our kids to Hippos Friends.

Hippos Daycare, run by Heike, has been absolutely amazing for our family. The educators are genuinely caring, kind, and deeply invested in my son’s wellbeing—they make him feel safe, understood, and excited to come in each day. The daily activities are creative, engaging, and thoughtfully planned, helping him learn, grow, and have so much fun. We’re incredibly grateful for the love and effort the whole team puts in. Highly recommend! My son loves Attending. James
Hippo’s Friends Early Education and Care offers a high-quality education service in a
nurturing and safe environment for the whole community. Our goal is to support and
develop your child’s natural curiosity, eagerness to learn, and their love of
communication with others.
We employ highly qualified staff including currently five Early Childhood Teachers,
and eight educators holding a Diploma in Early Childhood Education.
Our top-quality teaching programs are play-based; intentional teaching activities across all ages always ensure child safety and learning development.
Our government recognised preschool program prepares children aged 3 – 5 for entry
to their formal school life and includes:
· a strong focus on literacy and pre-reading skills using the Letterland approach
· mathematic skills via a hands-on approach as well as using Montessori materials and teaching techniques
· age appropriate French language lessons
Our large outside play area allows children to explore the world around them best
and introduces sustainable practices. We grow our own vegetables, are sun safe,
and offer children real life experiences such as cooking. We learn about nature
and our environment through regular bush walks and frequent excursions into our
local community and encourage a hands-on exploration of your child’s
surroundings.
A wide range of healthy and nutritious meals, prepared daily on the premises, are
offered; the menu is approved by the Munch & Move program.
Hippo’s Friends has a strong connection to our local Botany community, and we offer
children plenty of opportunities to foster this connection. We value parent and
community feedback, input, and engagement. We provide children with the ability
to learn about themselves and their world around them. We place a large
emphasis on developing your child’s independence.
