Exceeding the NQS

The service is approved to operate by the Department of Education and is accredited
as EXCEEDING the National Quality Standards for Early Childhood Education and Care.

Our Team

We pride ourselves on the quality education and care given by our educators. Many of whom have been at the service for 10 to 20+ years. We exceed standards in educator to child ratios to encourage and promote positive relationships between children and educators. 

Our Service

We provide a nurturing and safe environment that promotes children’s well-being, development, and learning. We value play and advocate for the child’s right to play. Our play-based curriculum engages children in rich and meaningful experiences and develops essential skills for successful learners. 

Caring for you and our community

Harrison St Early Education is not-for-profit putting children first and investing any surplus in the quality of the service. The service is managed by an experienced director and parent committee whose contribution is vital to the principles of community management and ownership.

What Makes Us Different?

We couldn’t be happier with the care our children receive at Harrison St Early Learning. Every staff member—from the educators and support staff to the reception team and wonderful chefs—plays such an important role in creating a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment.

The educators genuinely care for each child, encouraging them to learn, grow and thrive every day. The facilities are always clean, safe and beautifully maintained, with engaging indoor and outdoor spaces that our children absolutely love.

As parents, there’s no greater comfort than knowing our children are happy, supported and genuinely excited to go to daycare each day. Thank you to the entire team for everything you do—we are so grateful and would highly recommend Harrison St Early Learning to any family.

Harrison St is truly a second home for our daughter. The genuine care, love and kindness shown by all the staff is something we are incredibly grateful for.

We love the wonderful experiences the centre provides, the friendships our daughter has formed and the strong connections between educators, children and families. It is a wonderful example of how great leadership and passionate educators can create such a positive, nurturing environment.

We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the Harrison St family.

I have been incredibly fortunate to have my children attend HSEE over the past ten years. Throughout that time, I have encountered nothing but caring, warm and professional educators who genuinely know and value each child as an individual.

I especially want to acknowledge the support my son has received. As a child with additional needs, navigating his journey has sometimes been challenging, but the team at HSEE has been beside us every step of the way. They have supported his complex needs with compassion, patience and genuine dedication, always creating an environment where he feels safe and included. Their care has made an enormous difference to our family and I will always be grateful.

We started with HSEE two years ago and really love sending our son there. Most of the educators have been with the service for years and you can tell as the place has such a warm, caring feeling. The kids are encouraged to play and explore and to ‘be’ kids. To get dirty and messy and to learn through play. My son was supported from his first day there and we couldn’t be happier sending him there and knowing he’s in such good hands and care.

Harrison St has been so much more than a daycare to our family. From the incredible educators who have loved, nurtured and celebrated both of our children, to the genuine care and support we’ve received as parents, we couldn’t have asked for a better place for the kids. Every milestone, every challenge and every achievement has been met with kindness, patience and understanding. Knowing our children are safe, valued and truly known has meant the world to us. We will always be grateful for the lasting impact Harrison St has had on our family.

Harrison St Early Education Is an excellent Preschool and Long Day Care provider.

After having three girls attend and loving their experience we cannot speak highly enough of the experienced, supportive, caring staff that provide a happy fun environment full of learning and development activities.

Our children have always felt safe and happy attending and always looked forward to their days having wonderful fun loving teachers and staff and making lifelong friendships with other children and their families.

The professional care and experience is outstanding proving us with the positive early learning experiences and skills that allow children to develop their lifelong learning abilities.

Communication with staff is always excellent. The professionalism, care and support across the centre provides a warm, safe happy environment.
