What we offer Eastwood families

Eastwood itself has several preschools and early-learning options. We offer long day care (full-day, full-week, all year), continuity from babies through to school age, and a centre where many languages are spoken every day.

Our team between them speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Tagalog, Spanish, Hindi and English, among other languages. Settling in is easier when an educator can talk to you and your child in the language you use at home. Diwali, Lunar New Year, Eid and Christmas are all marked at the centre, and families bring their own celebrations into the rooms when they want to.
