Essential information
We’re a not-for-profit Christian preschool with Long Day Care hours for children 2-5 years old, a block from Coogee Beach.
Our dedicated long-term staff collaborate, and have ongoing professional training to make children comfortable giving you peace of mind.
We operate from 7.30am - 6pm Monday to Friday, 49 weeks a year. No fees on public holidays or for Christmas-New Year break.
We love our community, and take regular excursions to the beach, Koojay Corroboree, participate in Clean Up Australia, and our church.
Prepared fresh on-site by our SNCP chef, are delicious and nutritious meals, with herbs from our own garden.
Parents keep up with their child’s daily adventures by reading updates and stories with photos and videos, and news on our OWNA app.
Enriching learning environments
With two stunning naturally light-filled purpose-built classrooms, children learn in a variety of enriching environments, including a home corner and library, and areas for creative arts, construction, small-world play and group time.
Children aged 2-3 years old love joining the Smartie Room every day. In this easy-access classroom, children engage in a play-based education program that provides developmentally appropriate activities for learning along foundational social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills.
Children aged 3-5 years old are part of the Cookie Room, located in our upstairs space. They engage in exciting and innovative programs that prepare them for the rest of their educational lives. In this room, play-based inquiry continues as preschoolers transition to primary school.
Our bright, multi-tactile outdoor space is the perfect environment for children to play and learn. The area has a sandpit, riverbed, grass and soft-fall, plus a garden brimming with native plants to care for and taste, and a bamboo tunnel, shaded space, cubby house and slide.
