About Hippo's Friends Long Day Child Care Centre

Hippo’s Friends Early Education and Care offers a high-quality education service in a
nurturing and safe environment for the whole community. Our goal is to support and
develop your child’s natural curiosity, eagerness to learn, and their love of
communication with others. 

We employ highly qualified staff including currently five Early Childhood Teachers,
and eight educators holding a Diploma in Early Childhood Education. 

Our top-quality teaching programs are play-based; intentional teaching activities across all ages always ensure child safety and learning development. 

Our government recognised preschool program prepares children aged 3 – 5 for entry
to their formal school life and includes: 

· a strong focus on literacy and pre-reading skills using the Letterland approach 

· mathematic skills via a hands-on approach as well as using Montessori materials and teaching techniques 

· age appropriate French language lessons 

Our large outside play area allows children to explore the world around them best
and introduces sustainable practices. We grow our own vegetables, are sun safe,
and offer children real life experiences such as cooking. We learn about nature
and our environment through regular bush walks and frequent excursions into our
local community and encourage a hands-on exploration of your child’s
surroundings. 

A wide range of healthy and nutritious meals, prepared daily on the premises, are
offered; the menu is approved by the Munch & Move program. 

Hippo’s Friends has a strong connection to our local Botany community, and we offer
children plenty of opportunities to foster this connection. We value parent and
community feedback, input, and engagement. We provide children with the ability
to learn about themselves and their world around them. We place a large
emphasis on developing your child’s independence.

I was looking for a good place for my son for quite long and found it! At least 4 more families who I know trust this childcare as well. I would recommend it. Also, after some time (we moved and don't attend this childcare anymore, unfortunately), I realized that it was the best childcare for us, honestly. Your child will never go outside without a jacket in wintertime, won't be hungry, or anything like that. They really care about your kids.
