Pre-Kindy – 2 to 3 years
In Pre-Kindy, toddlers learn through play and exploration in a safe and welcoming space. Our caring teachers encourage confidence, curiosity, and important social skills, helping children feel comfortable and excited to learn.

Kindy is a joyful place where children start to develop key skills like communication, sharing, and problem-solving. We balance learning with play, nurturing their wellbeing and preparing them to be confident, happy learners ready for school.

Our Kindergarten program focuses on helping children make a smooth and successful transition to primary school. We support their learning, independence, and emotional well-being, working closely with families to ensure every child feels ready and excited for their next step.
Centre Features
In-service training for parents
We’re here for the whole family. That’s why we offer in-service training and guidance to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
Personal Care
We’ve got the essentials covered—nappies, wipes, bibs, face washers and all bed linen are provided. All you need to pack is a change of clothes and a hat.
Extra-curricular activities
Your little one can explore a world of activities such as dance, drama, sport, cooking, languages, music, yoga, science, construction play and gardening, all included in our daily program at no extra cost.
In-house chef
Our talented chef prepares five delicious and nutritious meals daily—breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and snacks so children stay full and fuelled for fun.
Extended care hours & public holiday services
We’re open Monday to Friday, 6:30 am to 6:30 pm—including most public holidays (closed Christmas week)—so quality care is available when you need it most.
Indoor & outdoor play areas
Children can enjoy the outdoors in spaces designed to spark exploration, movement and a love for nature. Inside, various age-appropriate play areas are filled with educational resources and engaging activities.
Why families feel at home with Bright Days
Support that goes above and beyond
Our child care services go further than basic supervision. We’re dedicated to supporting your child’s full growth — emotionally, socially, and intellectually. Every day, we create a caring environment where your child feels safe, valued, and encouraged to explore with confidence.
Experienced and warm educators
Our team provides childhood education and care that you can truly rely on. With experienced and passionate educators, we focus on each child’s unique needs, interests, and learning style, helping them discover who they are in a supportive environment.
We grow right alongside your family
We believe the best outcomes come from strong partnerships. We work closely with families, keeping you involved, informed, and supported. Your insights and goals for your child guide us, and together we celebrate every achievement and milestone.
Working hand-in-hand with allied health practitioners
Every child is unique, and sometimes extra support is needed. We collaborate with allied health professionals to provide personalised care and ensure your child’s wellbeing is fully supported, helping them thrive in all areas of development.
A thoughtful, proactive approach
Our team takes a proactive approach to each child’s care and development, always looking ahead to provide the right support at the right time. From tailored learning experiences to thoughtful communication with families, we’re always one step ahead to help your child thrive.
Familiar faces, safe spaces
Consistency builds confidence. Children are welcomed each day by warm, familiar educators in a secure and nurturing environment. This sense of stability helps children feel safe, settle in quickly, and build lasting, trusting relationships.
We are here to help you make the most of Government benefits
We know enrolling your child can feel overwhelming, especially for first-timers. That’s why our team is here to guide you every step of the way, helping you save money and navigate government services like myGov, Centrelink, and the Child Care Subsidy (CCS).
Funded by the Australian Government and managed through Centrelink, CCS makes childcare more affordable by reducing your out-of-pocket costs. We’re here to help you access these benefits easily and with less stress.
Joining us is even easier! Enrol for 2 months and receive 2 weeks free care. Chat with our team to learn more. T&Cs apply.

Meet our Centre Director, Sharon!
At Bright Days Early Education, I believe that in our centre we have created a holistic approach to education, but also social, emotional, and physical development with our vast explorations in our amazing environments that we have carefully created for all children, families and the community to be involved with our themed playgrounds and built structures. When I come to work each day, I am greeted by our large friendly Dinosaurs in the front of our centre; that captured my excitement and enthusiasm when I began my journey with Bright Days! I love that we have such a wonderful environment to work in and have the pleasure to experience all of the fun and smiles and giggles through play!
My aim is to lead our passionate and dedicated educational team who share the same vision and passion as I do. Please take the opportunity to check out our rooftop videos to have a real sense of what play has been graciously provided to all of our little friends here at Bright Days! I would like to invite you all to come and take a tour and enjoy our beautiful centre and to meet our team!
I also look forward to meeting you and your family and your friends’ families to join this happy place where the dinosaurs and creatures share learning with our young adventurers?
With Smiles and Giggles,
Sharon
