About Education & Care Service

Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.

Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees.

“We were going through hard times as we don't have any family for support. Luckily we found Grace who looked after my kids just like family would. The team was wonderful and the teachers did an awesome job as my kids are so ready for school academic wise and even morally . Thank you for looking after my kids with so much love and kindness which helped me very much. Thank you for being there for me when I needed it the most. You'll look after so many kids with patience and tolerance and I must say you guys are amazing.”

“I am very grateful for this amazing preschool. We have sent both our kids here and their knowledge and understanding are fantastic especially when they recently immigrated from another country and English is their second language. They were so comfortable in such a fun and caring environment. I feel very fortunate that they are being so well cared for by attentive and kind staff. They love the school, the teachers/staff and their friends wholeheartedly. My kids enjoyed a lot of educational activities, arts& crafts, fun play, social interaction with their friends and many more! The manager is very good at communication and are quick to respond when you have any concern. I’m happy that I sent my kids to the right place and I highly recommend them!”
