What makes our Picton daycare different
Qualified educators, low turnover
Our team includes 3 ECTs and 2 educators working towards ECT qualifications, more than required for a 46-place service. Our key educators have been with us between 1 year and 3.5 years. We prioritise consistency of care.
All-inclusive daily fees
From $150 per day, with meals, nappies, wipes, sunscreen, learning resources, excursions and centre events included. No enrolment fees, no administration fees. Most families also reduce their costs through Child Care Subsidy and NSW Start Strong.
Small, family-owned, accountable
46 places means we know every child by name. Decisions are made on site by the people who care for your child, not by a head office in another state.
