Our Beliefs and Values

As each child seeks answers to their questions, develops an understanding of their uniqueness, and formulates ideas to make sense of their world; we are there to guide, support, and inspire them.

A creative hands-on approach ensures that the child’s natural curiosity is ignited. Inquiry-based, open-ended learning activities, promote the development of critical thinking and reasoning skills as the child becomes a motivated independent learner.

At LillyPilly we value all families’ heritage, culture and opinions. We view our centre and its educators, as part of the diverse community in which families raise their children. By fostering a strong sense of community with families and the wider community we create a shared sense of purpose, which creates the best possible outcomes for children.

Our purpose is to learn from our children, support their learning journey, and foster a love of learning that will guide them through life. We aim to understand each child for the individual they are, the path they choose, and the life they lead by being active listeners, learning from them and through them.

"I can't recommend LillyPilly high enough. From the moment we toured the centre we loved it. It has an inviting, warm and friendly atmosphere and the staff there have consistently gone above and beyond for both my daughter and I. From the moment you walk in the door the amazing staff are there with a welcoming 'hi' and smile."

Kate Gouldson

"Since our tour of LillyPilly we have felt welcome and comfortable. Our son is so happy, supported, and comfortable here, all the staff are fantastic and their level of care to each child is second to none, I think every educator knows our sons name! He gets nutritious meals, well rounded activities and always comes home happy after a good day."

Rachel McPherson-Mackey

"We absolutely love LillyPilly. My daughter has been there since the very first day the centre opened. We love the well kept, motivating environment, the learning programs offered but above all, the kind, friendly and passionate staff who love our girl as if she were their own. LillyPilly has played a massive role in nurturing our daughter to be who she is today. We will treasure these days!"

Emily Spratt

"We love love LOVE LillyPilly and couldn’t recommend it more. We now have two children who attend and feel lucky to have secured care at a top notch centre for the both of them. Our toddler asks to go on weekends, and our infant settled in with ease when she started recently. It can be nerve wracking leaving your kids in someone else’s care, but we’ve never had this concern with LillyPilly."

Brittany Teivonen

"We have just started at LillyPilly after lots of recommendations and great feedback from other parents. So far all the staff have been very inviting, communication has been great and my boys did great on orientation and were very comfortable with the educators. The centre is beautiful, clean, very spacious and the outdoor area is a toddlers dream. Very excited to watch my boys grow and develop at LillyPilly."

Jaimee Grame

"The educators go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe and happy, my son comes home with so many lovely stories about his day. They are wonderful at picking up on what the children are interested in and working that into lessons and activities. They instil a love of learning and encourage imaginative play, with a big focus on giving children the skills they need to be independent."

Tegan Clarkson

"Having moved my daughter to this centre from another childcare the comparison was like day and night. The educators have created a safe environment for my daughter to transition and she has loved it ever since. It is great to see her confidence grow with the caring and nurturing environment that LillyPilly creates."

Paige Dowset

"Our kids have been attending LillyPilly since shortly after they opened in 2021. We have had the privilege in watching our children thrive and grow with the support of the educators at LillyPilly. We have never seen educators who are so supportive and so willing to go above and beyond. LillyPilly makes the whole family feel like family. We couldn't imagine another centre since moving to LillyPilly."

Shannee Mathews

"Have experienced many daycare centres with my children but LillyPilly is the best run centre by far. With high quality staff and care. Very inclusive of all kids and abilities, as well as prioritising high quality education. Would and have recommended to other parents."

Jess Garness

"We recently moved our daughter to LillyPilly from another centre and the difference is incredible. Our daughter took to her new childcare centre so well and absolutely loves every day she is there. We were really worried about how she would manage changing centres, but we don't regret it for a second. We couldn’t recommend LillyPilly highly enough."
