My daughter has been going to this daycare since she was 5 months old, and I am incredibly grateful for the amazing care they provide. The staff are warm, patient, and truly dedicated to the children. I’ve seen such beautiful progress in my daughter’s confidence, routine, and social skills as she grows. The environment is always clean, safe, and welcoming, and they keep me updated throughout the day, which gives me so much peace of mind as a busy mum. It’s clear they genuinely care about each child’s wellbeing and development. Thank you to the whole team for the wonderful job you’re doing. We truly appreciate you! ❤️

We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber

Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years

Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and through experimentation. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play including sensory play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing.

Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games, role playing and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddlers can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn-taking, developing self-confidence and emotional self-regulation. Our skilled team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Preschool Space: 3 – 6 years

Preschool is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning and a child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Preschool children's literacy development by engaging in rich discussions, reading, storytelling, dramatic play and experimentation all of which introduce new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations.

Throughout the Preschool year, children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, are supported through group learning experiences. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Our goal in the Preschool year is to prepare children and families for a smooth transition to primary school.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

Our centre chef prepares and cooks nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating across a wide variety of food.

Our centre offers seasonal whole food-based menus – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Meet the team

Hi my name is Val and I am the Centre Manager at First Grammar Condell Park. I have been working in early learning since 2012. I joined the team at First Grammar Condell Park in 2018 I hold a Master of Teaching (Birth-12 years).

I have always had a passion to work with children. I love to empower people and who better to empower than the people of our future. I became a teacher for children Birth- 12 years as I am passionate about teaching children of all ages. However, I chose to work with children birth- 5 years as I believe it is the most crucial part of their lives. This is the time where quality teaching and learning needs to occur for children to develop and grow positively.

I strongly believe learning is all about having fun. If a child is involved and engaged throughout their learning, they will develop important skills and abilities whilst having fun!

Our team at First Grammar are all qualified in the filed and have a strong passion in teaching children and watching them strive. I am a strong advocate for child protection and I vow to be the voice for those in my care who do not feel safe, secure & supported in doing so themselves.

I build relationships with families on a day to day basis by continually greeting every single family that comes through the door, asking how they are and having open discussions with the families and offering support where I can. I endeavour to keep up communication through Xplor posts, emails and phone calls to keep families informed about things happening around the centre.

My little sister has been attending this daycare for nearly 4 years. All of the staff is so compassionate and cooperative, Miss Val is an amazing manager and very dedicated. My sister gets super excited to go and always has something to say about how enjoyable her day was. She’s developed so well and learnt so much from all the educators, so much so, she’s prepared to head to kindergarten. A very big thankyou from me and my family to the staff and Miss Val, you have been a great part of my little sisters infant, toddler and preschool years.
