About Us

Welcome to Berry Patch Preschool and Long Day Care Centres

Welcome to the official website of The Berry Patch Preschool and Long Daycare Centres, providing quality early childhood education for children 6 weeks to 6 years old. As an industry recognised centre, we aim to enrich your child’s learning journey by providing a stimulating and nurturing environment.

Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards, our preschool centred programs are specialised to your child’s growth and learning milestones. Our programs are aligned with the EYLF and NQS to encourage independent learning and thinking, in preparation for primary school.

Our Philosophy

We aim to provide an enriching and challenging learning environment to support your child’s growth and learning experience. At The Berry Patch Preschool we encourage play based learning and inquiry, in addition to intentional teaching.

We have established the perfect combination of these teaching techniques to enhance your child’s learning. Our curriculum and everyday practices are guided by the outcomes established by the Early Years Learning Framework.

Child Safe Standard Statement of Commitment
