Tiggers Childcare Centre and Kindergarten
Every day is an opportunity for discovery and growth at Tiggers Childcare Centre and Kindergarten, which is rated exceeding in the National Quality Standard. With a range of exciting, resource-rich environments including yoga experiences, a pergola, a water play area, and natural play structures, children are encouraged to explore and learn.
The light-filled centre is split between two 1930s houses, and features high ceilings, native trees, a spacious outdoor area, and a range of age-specific ateliers.
We are proud to have a culturally diverse team, with a number of our Educators fluent in Mandarin, and celebrate a variety of cultures and holidays throughout the year.
Children get out and about on regular excursions, so we have a great connection with the surrounding community. We have a lovely park and a library within walking distance of the centre, so all age groups join in.
Our on-site cook, Chris, prepares five nutritionally balanced meals using seasonal ingredients every day. Having been with the centre for over 12 years, Chris puts his heart and soul into every meal, and the children love chatting with him and participating in cooking classes.

Call our customer Service:
“It’s not easy to leave your child in the care of someone else, however, from day one I can comfortably say that your staff have always provided the best care for both my children. I always see all the great things they do with the children but most importantly they are always there to comfort the children and take such great care of them.”
– Ivana Dusenjko, Mickleham Road, Vic
"The transition into childcare was made easy by the supportive and compassionate staff. Daily communication (both email and verbal) kept me up to date with my daughter's progress socially, emotionally and intellectually. The 'child centred' approach is amazing; for my child to make connections to her own world and experiences. She loves going.”
– Sarah Collingwood, Jacaranda – Sunnybank, Qld
"“The team are passionate about being early childhood Educators. The environment is filled with many indoor and outdoor activities allowing a child-led development by following their natural interests (inspired by Reggio Emilia). A philosophy we follow in our home. My four-year-old daughter’s language and social skills have improved greatly.””
– Angela K, Lane Cove, NSW
