Purpose-built play spaces for little explorers
From the moment you step foot in our North Ryde child care centre, you’ll be immersed in a world where children are encouraged to explore and learn. Our spacious outdoor environments include rainbow bike tracks, cubby houses, slides, sandpits, and a herb and vegetable garden. Children are provided time and space for uninterrupted play as they explore the outdoors to test their limits and develop strength, balance, and self-confidence.
We are a purpose built early learning centre, with the combination of both indoor and outdoor learning environments. Our indoor spaces invite exploration with quality resources and learning experiences. Children wonder, create, and test out their ideas as they play with a range of materials in purposeful play spaces.
Healthy meals freshly prepared daily in-house
Healthy meals and snacks are created daily by our in-house cook, catering for all dietary requirements. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences, and model healthy eating practices. Let us treat you to coffee and a snack as part of your morning routine.
Long-standing educators and exciting programs
We have a long-standing and experienced team of educators and Early Childhood Teachers with a vested interested in children’s care, wellbeing, and education.

Take a walk in your child's footsteps
Every day is a different adventure with children, but there are some key elements that make your child’s time so enjoyable at Greenwood Early Education Centres.
Scroll through the below to see what a typical day might look like.
Arrival at the centre
Experience a sense of belonging as you are welcomed by our friendly centre teams. On arrival, share information about your child’s specific needs for the day. Our experienced educators will support you and your child with the morning transition from home to centre.
Mealtimes
Your child enjoys a nutritious menu prepared by our centre cooks. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences. Educators model healthy eating practices and social behaviours, and support children’s growing independence with mealtime routines.
Infant care
Infants are held in educators’ arms for feeding. Bottle feeding with educators or breastfeeding with Mum provides one-on-one time for connection, talking gently and responding to baby’s cues. Everyday routines provide opportunities to strengthen relationships and build language skills through songs, games, and conversations.
Play-based Learning
As your child plays, they develop dispositions for learning including curiosity, problem-solving, confidence and resilience. Educators plan play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals. Play-based learning supports all areas of children’s development, including language and motor movement, memory, concentration, emotions, and social relationships.
Sleep, rest and relaxation
Sleep, rest and relaxation routines match your child’s individual needs. Effective sleep practices help children feel safe and secure to support better sleep. Opportunities for rest and relaxation are always available across the day. Play-based learning experiences are provided for older children who don’t sleep.
Heading home
Experience a sense of satisfaction that your child has enjoyed and benefited from their day at the centre. As you prepare to head home, speak with our friendly educators about your child’s learning and experiences across the day. We look forward to welcoming you back tomorrow.
