At Armadillo Childcare, we are dedicated to inspiring learning for life. As soon as you step through our doors, you will be greeted by an environment where children are encouraged to explore and learn. Our adventure-filled playgrounds feature gardens, sandpits, cubby houses, and play equipment that engage all the senses.

Being outside also promotes overall health and wellbeing for children.

Inside our center, children will find inviting spaces that encourage exploration and learning. We provide quality resources and learning experiences that allow children to wonder, create, and test out their ideas. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences based on children's interests and learning goals. Literacy and numeracy concepts are embedded in play-based learning, allowing children to engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists, and designers.

We understand the importance of nutrition for growing children, which is why we take care of providing healthy, freshly made meals and snacks. Our in-house cook caters to all dietary requirements, ensuring that your child receives nutritious meals throughout the day. Shared mealtimes between children and educators also strengthen relationships and provide opportunities for storytelling and modeling healthy eating practices.

At Armadillo Childcare, no two days are the same. We offer a variety of learning and exploration opportunities for children and educators. Our center organizes excursions to the nearby aged care center and Smithfield Fire Station, allowing children to learn from and interact with their local community. We also welcome special guests and community members based on the children's interests, fostering a sense of community and belonging. These experiences help children develop social and observational skills in different environments.
