Great Beginnings Speers Point

Welcome to Great Beginnings Speers Point, the perfect place for your child's early education and child care needs. Located in Speers Point, Australia, our centre is conveniently situated for families commuting through Lakelands, Macquarie Hills, and Boolaroo near Newcastle. You'll find us just a short stroll from Cockle Bay, off The Esplanade, on Main Road, with easy access to public transport.

At Great Beginnings Speers Point, we pride ourselves on being a beautiful and modern child care centre. With six rooms and a large natural shared play space outdoors, our centre provides a stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore and learn. Our outdoor areas feature a spacious yard, sandpits, and a water play area that engage all the senses. Here, children have the freedom to play and test their limits, developing strength, balance, and self-confidence. Being outside also promotes their overall health and wellbeing.

Inside our centre, children will find a range of quality resources and learning experiences that invite exploration. They can wonder, create, and test out their ideas in purposeful play spaces. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences tailored to children's interests and learning goals.

When it comes to meals and snacks, you don't need to worry about packing anything. Our in-house chef prepares healthy and freshly made meals and snacks daily, catering to all dietary requirements. The children even get the opportunity to cook with our chef, both in the classrooms and in the kitchen. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships and provide opportunities to share stories and experiences, as well as model healthy eating practices. And to start your day off right, we'll treat you to coffee and a snack as part of your morning routine.

We believe in exploring the local community, so our educators and children go on excursions to nearby parks and the library. We also welcome special guests and community members to the centre based on the children's interests. These visits include a monthly arts program, responsible pet ownership, emergency services, dental hygiene, science exploration, mindfulness, dance, and movement. We want to provide a well-rounded experience for your child.
