Life at LillyPilly
At LillyPilly EEC our dedicated staff makes it feel like a home away from home. Join us for morning tea, explore age-appropriate learning spaces, and let your child thrive in a nurturing environment.
The LillyPilly Difference
Family-owned and founded by brothers and dads Daniel and Tom Hall, one of the things our families love most about us is that we are not part of a chain or corporation, allowing us to continually evolve with our families and educators independent of a corporate ‘one concept fits all’ model.
We provide a variety of complimentary ‘Grab & Go’ breakfast options daily for families including free barista-style takeaway coffee with coffee beans sourced from local cafe Little Luxton to make your morning that little bit easier.
We love celebrations and never look past Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, LillyPilly’s Birthday, Easter or Christmas as an opportunity to celebrate
If a child’s birthday falls on a day they are booked to attend care, the child gets to enjoy a LillyPilly ‘high tea’ for afternoon tea, and select a small gift to take home.
A holiday discount on fees.
We highly value and look after our staff. Most of our educators live locally in the surrounding Tuggeranong region and we hold community close to our hearts.
Convenient underground parking with lift access to the front door, so you and your little ones don’t get wet in the rain!
We love supporting local business, sourcing our fresh produce and coffee beans from local Canberra businesses.
We regularly undertake incursions and walks in the local area, allowing children to explore the natural environment and engage in the wider community.
We share daily stories and photographs with families through the OWNA App so you can see and interact with all the incredible learning experiences your child has been a part of each day.
Providing an environment for your child to flourish
Our embedded inclusive practices ensure the best possible outcomes for each child; as the child’s happiness and emotional wellbeing are prioritised. We are an ever-changing, ever-evolving early learning centre that see ourselves as an extension of all our families, and our community as a whole.
Health & Nutrition
We provide meals and snacks using only the freshest of ingredients and seasonal produce prepared daily by our on-site kitchen team. We support Canberra businesses when sourcing fresh produce, meat and coffee beans, keeping funds local and supporting our community.
We create seasonal menus that are healthy, tasty, and fun, which include breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack. A complimentary ‘Grab & Go’ breakfast, and takeaway tea and coffee is available for parents each morning from the kitchen servery to make morning’s that little bit easier!
How we communicate with families
OWNA is an interactive, secure, private online platform allowing the LillyPilly community to connect.
We use OWNA to communicate with families and share information about our service, children’s learning experiences and their daily information (meals, sleep times, toileting etc), family accounts, attendance records, important documents, policies and procedures and forms.
Our Learning Spaces
With children in mind, we have created spaces that encourage discovery, exploration and learning through play.
Your child’s journey starts here
We are so much more than childcare, we are nurturing inquisitive minds, we are your child's home away from home, we are family.
