About Sand and Stories Early Childhood Centre
Welcome to Sand and Stories Early Childhood Centre, located at 36 Moorina Avenue in Matraville, Australia. Our establishment is not just a point of interest, but a school that caters to children from 6 weeks to 5 years old.
At Sand and Stories Early Childhood Centre, we prioritize providing a high-quality setting that encourages each child's thinking and feeling capacities through the medium of play in a natural environment. We believe in fostering your child's natural curiosity and nurturing a lifelong motivation to learn. Our curriculum is value-laden, teaching children to become morally just and responsible citizens in both local and global societies.
We view children as capable beings who bring their life experiences and perspectives into our environment, forming their own stories waiting to be told. Our aim is to promote your child's growth as an individual through interactions with others and the environment. Our center provides the perfect environment for your child to create and discover new and unknown stories.
Advocating for the skills and rights of each child, Sand and Stories Early Childhood Centre uses the metaphor of sand to symbolize the fluidity of children's imaginations in creating their stories within a space of fun and friendship. The ability for sand to be manipulated allows children to recreate and refine their works as they develop their stories.
We are a long day care facility open from 7:30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, for 50 weeks of the year. Please note that we are closed during the Christmas and New Year period.
Sand and Stories Early Childhood Centre caters to your child's daily needs, requiring parents to only bring a bag with changes of clothes and a sun hat (preferably bucket hat styles).
We are excited to welcome new families and children to our center. To apply, please download and complete the waiting list form and return it to us at your earliest convenience. We look forward to beginning the journey of creating stories with you and your family.
Our programs and practices are based on the National Early Years Learning Framework, which focuses on the concepts of children 'being', 'belonging', and 'becoming'. We are also influenced by the principles exemplified in Reggio Emilia schools, believing that a child's learning journey is continuous and cannot be constrained by time or topic. Our teaching program is driven by the interactions we have with each child, and our understanding of their interests is derived from these relationships.
The environment at Sand and Stories Early Childhood Centre plays a significant role in guiding children's learning. We provide a base that promotes their inquisitive nature, using simple, organic, and open-ended resources that act as a blank canvas for each child to display their stories and share them with others.
Our educators are a dedicated and collaborative team, holding a minimum of a Certificate III in Children's Services to support the Australian Government's new national early childhood agenda. We believe that highly qualified educators equipped with practical and theoretical skills are best suited to promote your child's development.
If you have any questions or would like to contact us, you can find us at 36 Moorina Avenue, Matraville, NSW 2032. You can also reach us by phone at 02 9661 3336 or via email at [email protected].

Reviews of Sand and Stories Early Childhood Centre
"Late fees $100 for 5 minutes each day with NO CONSIDERATION. How does that work? The worst day care. Money orientated. Unprofessional service. Beware of the catch."
"My three children have been going to Sand & Stories for over 4 years and I can say with complete certainty - it is a tough one to top. The meticulous attention to detail and cleanliness is in a league of its own. All my kids have loved going, the educators communication with parents is incredible and I have always been thoroughly impressed with the education program and the level of care to each and every child. Highly recommended."
