Jasmine HaidarI haven’t had any issues with the preschool, they keep you informed of what is happening and they have a monthly newsletter to keep you updated.
My son loves going, so much so that the first day I took him, once he’d seen all the outdoor equipment he never looked back at me.
So thats the start of many of these instances like that I guess. But it’s been a good experience so far and all the staff are very helpful and informative as well.
Leslie TullyThe best preschool in the area. Both my children have attended this preschool and I could not have asked for a better start for them. The centre offers children personalised care in a welcoming, fun and structured setting.

As a childcare educator, my philosophy revolves around fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where each child feels valued, respected and supported in their unique journey of growth and development.
Kirsten
Greystanes Childcare Centre Director
I believe every child is an individual with their own way of learning, playing and viewing their world. As an educator, it is our joy to use each child’s views, needs and interests in our practices to ensure every child has equal opportunities to learn and play.
Anita
Greystanes Childcare Centre Room Leader
I believe each child is unique with different interests, backgrounds and developmental stages. I will value and develop each child’s strength, interests, skills and knowledge to extend their learning. Through play provides opportunities for children to explore, discover, create and imagine, in a safe and secured environment.

What our parents ask about Greystanes childcare centre
Finding a quality child care service in Greystanes is no easy task, but we have provided answers to some frequently asked questions to help make this a little easier.
Do I need to pay for child care in Greystanes?
Some Government run child care are currently free for families, however it is important to note that these daycares often have quite a long waitlist. It’s important to contact Centrelink to find out how much government subsidy you can receive as this definitely helps to cut down the cost of childcare in Greystanes.
What are the different types of early childhood programs?
All daycares / early education centres follow the EYLF which outlines the areas in which a program should focus on. These include learning activities where children can problem solve, be curious and challenge their abilities. Communication activities where children need to articulate their thoughts and feelings. Gross motor experiences, including risky play. Social activities where children work together and understand fairness. As well as activities that outline emotions and understanding empathy and the feelings of others. All early learning centres will have age-appropriate experiences based of the children’s interests, that work towards one of more of these outcomes.
How many days a week should my child go to Greystanes early learning centre?
It is recommended to slowly ease your child into the longer days of primary school and therefore a few months before your child starts school many preschools and early learning centres will encourage you to increase your childs days to ensure they are prepared for that transition. Between the ages of 0-3 we often suggest 2 days for children especially as this helps with the initial settling period. From 3-5 years of age then we encourage at least 3 days to again help with that transitioning to school. No matter how many days you choose or can afford to send your child to an early learning centre in Greystanes, they will benefit greatly by challenging their social skills, emotional skills, self help skills and so much more.
Is 6 months too early for childcare?
Children benefit from Early Childhood education at all ages. Enrolling your baby in Early Childhood education can have a range of benefits, examples include:
- Boosted immune systems
- Children of a young age develop bonds easier so therefore they will often be easier to settle into childcare.
- Support with developing strong routines especially as children transition from multiple bottles and sleeps per day.
- Support through growth transitions such as teething, growing pains etc.
- They will have developed strong bonds with educators and peers by the time they have to transition to the larger rooms so this transition is often easier.
What is the difference between childcare and early childhood education?
Centres will often brand themselves differently from daycare, childcare, early childhood education, kindy and more. We all follow the Early Years Learning Framework for the programs we offer the children in our care. We also all fall under the National Quality Framework and Standard as well as National Regulations so all centres must adhere to these regulations and guidelines.
What is an early learning centre?
Early Learning centres much like other daycares and kindy all follow the early years learning framework which focuses on educators working with families and children to develop children confident identities, communication skills, health and well-being, curiosity, resilience and so much more. Programs are developed using this framework and educators work with families to ensure their programs are incorporating the individual needs of every child.
