About
We believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn in an environment that is a home away from home.
Who are we
Our centre is privately owned by Neetu and Vinesh who believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn in an environment that is a home away from home.
The Centre is based on the fundamentals of heart and home. The outdoors is a natural, whimsy garden playscape. The indoors is homely in nature. The kitchen is the hub for a fully-catered daily menu that reflects a love for simple, healthy nourishment.
- Your locally owned Child Care Centre
- Your local teachers giving motherly guidance to your child
- Flexible Childcare Payments
Our purpose
Dandy & Lion Centre’s purpose is to ensure every child leaves their early learning years with a lion’s share of connections, experiences & memories, and the courage to make a thousand dandelion wishes for the future.
Your child will be provided with nutritious meals for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Most dietary requirements are taken in to consideration and catered for.
Our community
Our families come from nearby neighborhoods, creating a close-knit environment and strong parent partnerships. Whether we’re close to home or near the office, our center is ideal for busy working families and easy to get to – for pick-up and drop-off or to stop in for a visit.
We use fun, research-based, multi-sensory strategies to help children develop early learning skills, including Lively Letters, Open Court for phonics and literacy, Handwriting Without Tears, and Everyday Math. We use Responsive Classroom as the basis for our social and emotional learning curriculum throughout the centre.
Health & Safety
Your child’s health and safety are our top priority. Our centers have strict guidelines for cleanliness and security and we’re proud to be recognized as a health-and-wellness model for child care centers based on our recent survey.
Our standards are the highest in the industry, meeting or exceeding all local and ministry guidelines.
All of our early education and preschool centre areas include:
- Well planned spaces with rounded corners and soft surfaces
- Secure areas that keep children constantly within sight
- Monitored & Alarmed space to ensure security
