Children are provided time and space for uninterrupted play as they explore the outdoors to test their limits and develop strength, balance, and self-confidence. Being outside supports children’s overall health and wellbeing.

Our indoor spaces invite exploration with quality resources and learning experiences. Children wonder, create, and test out their ideas as they play with a range of materials in purposeful play spaces. Our experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals. Literacy and numeracy concepts are embedded in play-based learning, as children engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists, and designers.

The centre kitchen is at the heart of everything we do. There is no need to pack lunches and snacks for your child. Healthy, freshly made meals and snacks are created daily by our qualified in-house chef, catering for all dietary requirements. Shared mealtimes between children and educators strengthen relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences, and model healthy eating practices.

Each new day is an adventure at Great Beginnings Marden Park. Children and educators love to explore the local Marsden Park community with excursions to nearby locations. We are located in a prime location surrounded by small businesses, local cafes, schools and parks. We also invite special guests and community members to the centre based on the children's interests including the fire brigade and local police. 

We pride ourselves on our in-center events and celebrations. Showing off the staff’s talents, interests and cultural backgrounds to engage children and families in a variety of experiences. Neighbourhood connections support a sense of community and belonging for children and provide opportunities to develop social and observational skills with different people, places, and environments.

As members of our Great Beginnings community, we look forward to partnering with you to provide information, support, and high-quality education and care in your child’s formative years.
