Chisholm's newest home
for early education,
childcare and preschool

Supporting your child's growth and development in a nature-inspired, play-based, purpose-built and family-focused environment.

Where children are known, challenged and cared for

6 weeks - school age

6 learning studios

Brand new, purpose-built

Family owned and operated

  • Chisholm Early Education was founded by 2 families who believed Chisholm deserved better: an early education service that didn't compromise on the quality of the environment, the depth of the learning or the warmth of the community around it.

  • All our educators hold ACECQA-approved early childhood qualifications and are committed to ongoing professional learning.

  • Our educators don't work from a weekly activity schedule. They observe, plan and respond to who children actually are, guided by an inquiry-led approach that treats every child as a capable, curious learner.

  • Six brand-new learning studios with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, designed from the ground up to reflect high quality early education standards.

  • Outdoor spaces built for risk-taking, whole-body movement and genuine connection to nature, not an afterthought to the studios.

  • Fresh, nutritious meals prepared daily — made with care, not delivered or reheated.

  • Open 6:15am–6:15pm, Monday to Friday. Built to genuinely support working families.

What makes us different?

Our approach to early education

Play is the work,
and we take it seriously

Play is how children think, learn and make sense of the world. Our studios and outdoor spaces are open-ended, unhurried and led by children's own curiosity. Educators walk alongside as co-thinkers, not directors.

Guided by the Rose Way Planning Framework and Australia's Early Years Learning Framework.

Nutrition

Our onsite chef prepares fresh, nutritious meals daily, designed to support children's wellbeing and development, with every dietary need and allergy genuinely catered for.
