Child Care Services
Our long day care services cater to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, providing a safe environment for holistic development. We implement the Early Years Learning Framework through play-based activities that foster social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Our qualified educators create individualised learning plans while maintaining a strong focus on child safety and wellbeing.
School Readiness Programs
Designed to ease transitions to formal education, our school readiness curriculum develops literacy, numeracy, and social skills. We incorporate NSW Health initiatives like Munch & Move to promote healthy habits alongside fundamental movement skills. Regular assessments ensure children meet developmental milestones while building confidence for classroom environments.
Sustainability Education
Our Sustainability Action Plan includes hands-on initiatives like vegetable gardens, worm farms, and chicken rearing. Children learn recycling practices through dedicated bins and participate in national events like Earth Day. The Eco-Topia program extends learning to families, promoting environmental stewardship through community workshops and digital resources.
Sports Activities
Partnering with Ready Steady Go Kids, we deliver multi-sports sessions that develop motor skills and teamwork. Children explore athletics, soccer, basketball, and cricket through structured coaching. These activities enhance coordination, balance, and social interaction while fostering lifelong fitness habits in a fun, supportive environment.
Creative Arts Classes
Weekly dance, yoga, and Tai Chi classes promote creative expression and mindfulness. Dance sessions improve physical coordination while music and movement activities enhance rhythm and confidence. Yoga and Tai Chi practices teach body awareness, breathing techniques, and emotional regulation through age-appropriate poses and exercises.

I have sent both of my kids to Wiggles and giggles. My both the kids enjoyed their time at Wiggles and Giggles day care very much. We are impressed with their caring and teaching approach. Thank you so much for all the teachers who have made my kids feel comfortably cared for and safe.

Report
Our daughter is always so excited to go to Wiggles & Giggles. During the lockdown, we stopped sending her to the centre and there were moments when she just blurted out 'go to childcare'. When we finally decided to bring her back, we could really see the happiness in her eyes. She truly missed her teachers and peers. When we ask her who her friends are, she would always include her teachers. This just shows that our daughter has established wonderful connections and relationship with her peers and her teachers. Thank you so much to all the staff for making our daughter feel loved and secured while
