Allison Crescent Menai Early Education Centre
Allison Crescent is in the heart of the Menai business district. We take advantage of our prime location and love getting involved in our local community.
We enjoy walking excursions to Parc Menai, the library and the local bushland reserve. The children also visit our garden plot at 3 Bridges Menai Community Centre. We tend to our herbs and veggies, as well as the compost and worm farm.
Families value our large, modern and well-resourced outdoor spaces. This is one of the biggest childcare playgrounds in the local area. Our grassed area provides opportunities for group games and yoga sessions. A covered deck enables all-weather outdoor play and crafts.
Climbing, balancing, running and trikes promote balance and motor skills. Our art space and large sandpit encourages creativity and imagination. Natural landscapes allow exploration as well as peaceful spots to relax in. The children here love to garden. They pick veggies and herbs, and even make fresh lemonade!
Our Educators are warm, nurturing and experienced. We’re a culturally diverse team who love sharing cooking experiences, language, music and dance with the children.
We establish lasting partnerships with families. Our goal is for everyone to feel like they belong. We welcome and encourage parents’ ideas and contributions to our learning program to help us reflect every child’s voice and interests.
Families enjoy regular insights into their children's learning via a safe and secure communication app called Educa. Educa allows families to view and share learning stories, photos and videos, and collaborate with Educators about their child’s development, from the comfort of their phone.
Allison Crescent opens from 7am-6.15pm, 51 weeks of the year.
We provide an eco-friendly cloth nappy service to babies and toddlers, at no additional cost to parents.
