About the Business
Welcome to The Children's Garden, located in the beautiful suburb of Melville, Australia. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we are dedicated to providing your child with the best possible start to their education.
At The Children's Garden, we understand the importance of nurturing your child's development both psychologically and physiologically. What sets us apart from ordinary care-based centers is the unparalleled attention we give to each child's individual growth. Through years of research and experience, we have developed a philosophy of play-based learning that is rooted in the best-practice recommendations of early years psychology and pedagogy.
We firmly believe that every child is a capable and competent learner. Our dedicated educators strive to foster this belief by tailoring experiences to match each child's interests, posing open-ended and thought-provoking questions, and engaging in meaningful conversations about their daily experiences.
At The Children's Garden, we recognize the profound impact that the environment has on a child's development. Our indoor environment is thoughtfully designed to be aesthetically pleasing and stimulating, creating an atmosphere conducive to learning. Similarly, our outdoor environment encourages children to embrace the wonders of nature and engage in open-ended challenges. By allowing children to choose their own areas of interest and plan their own learning, we empower them with a strong sense of self-belief, resilience, and problem-solving skills.
In addition to our focus on education, The Children's Garden is committed to sustainable practices. We actively encourage the use and practice of recycling items, teaching children the importance of caring for the environment. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we also have in-house animals, such as chickens and rabbits, that children are encouraged to nurture and care for. This not only develops empathetic emotional skills but also fosters a sense of responsibility and connection with the natural world.
At The Children's Garden, we strive to create a nurturing and inspiring environment where your child can grow, learn, and thrive. We invite you to explore our website further to learn more about our programs, facilities, and the exceptional education we offer. Join us on this exciting journey as we lay the foundation for your child's lifelong love of learning.

Reviews
"This centre is the personification of quality Early Childhood. A contemporary evidence based curriculum which is centred around where your child is at in their learning journey.. Staff who not only have the relevant training and education but more importantly demonstrate the values and philosophy of the centre . The environment is a space which invites discovery and the opportunity for children to explore holistically whilst being supported and encouraged. It really is second to none"
"Since my initial visit at the Children's Garden, over 2 years ago now, I have never once questioned my decision to send my son here. The children's Garden truly is a home away from home for him and the warm bond he shares with each of his educators, as well as his peers (and lets not forget the bunnies and chickens), is reflected in the animated tales he shares on our journey home when asked 'what did you do today'? He has thrived in the environment which makes the most of its indoor / outdoor facilities (more-so outdoor which he LOVES ) and whenever I am complimented on my son's speech or progress, I will always acknowledge the role that the Educators at The Children's Garden play in that. As with any early childhood education facility our experience has not come without its challenges. For a time, my son was on the receiving end of bites from one of his peers. Naturally, this situation resulted in many tears (my son's, mine and the biters mum - I'm not sure which of us was more upset) but we worked with the Children's Garden to put an action plan in place. Both children were spoken to about the incidents and how best to manage themselves and their emotions at such times, the issue was raised with the staff in order that the children could be monitored more closely, the children were separated for a time, and then monitored for a time after that, and there has not been an incident in months. During that period of resolution, myself and my husband, as well as the other parents, were looped in to all progress. My many calls to the centre manager, Rachael, were met with patient, understanding assurances and the team worked with all of us ensure a positive outcome for both children. I understand that every centre will not be the right fit for every child, but for us, The Children's Garden cannot be faulted - I couldn't recommend it any higher and am so grateful I found this gem!"
"I love their nature oriented approach to childcare, highly recommend it to all my friends"
"Quite different from many child care centers I've seen. This one is not "sterile" and kids are encouraged to play in the dirt and handle the animals. The staff appeared young but very dedicated. Expect your kids to come home dirty, but eager to go again."
