Stepping Stone Aberfoyle Park Childcare & Early Development Centre

Welcome to Stepping Stone Aberfoyle Park Childcare & Early Development Centre! Located at Sunnymeade Drive in Aberfoyle Park, Australia, our institution is dedicated to delivering quality childcare to families in Aberfoyle Park and the surrounding areas.

Our purpose-built facilities feature six spacious rooms filled with educational resources, creating a nurturing environment for learning through play. We invite you to take a sneak peek inside our centre and see for yourself.

One of the highlights of our centre is our large nature yard, where children can explore their natural environment. Filled with wooden logs, bench seats, native plants, and large gumtrees, our yard attracts local native animals such as koalas and kookaburras. We encourage children to engage with their surroundings and experience the wonders of nature.

At Stepping Stone Aberfoyle Park, we believe in providing a well-rounded education. Our curriculum is created around four important aspects: the child's interests, parent input, community events, and intentional teaching led by our dedicated educators. This approach is based on the Early Years Learning Framework and ensures that each child receives a personalized and enriching educational experience.

We also prioritize the health and well-being of our children. Our on-site cook prepares fresh and healthy meals daily, with a menu that changes seasonally. This encourages children to discover different tastes and textures, fostering a love for nutritious food.

Safety is of utmost importance to us. We provide both indoor and outdoor learning environments that are safe yet challenging. This encourages autonomy, self-help skills, problem-solving, flexibility, and play. Our goal is to create an environment where children can thrive and develop their full potential.

But don't just take our word for it, hear from families who have attended our Aberfoyle Park childcare centre. They rave about the caring and helpful staff, the genuine care for the children, and the positive impact it has had on their little ones.
