About Us

Simba Education is more than a place for early education—it’s a community where curiosity thrives, imagination blossoms, and every child is seen, heard, and supported.

We welcome families with children from nursery to preschool, offering nurturing, play-based programs that spark creativity, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Every moment is thoughtfully guided, with the child, educators, and environment working together to create a safe, connected, and inspiring start to your little one’s early years.

We honour each child’s unique rhythm and personality, providing responsive routines, nutritious meals, enriching experiences like art therapy, physical movement, incursions, excursions, and a strong foundation for life beyond early learning.

Our Purpose

We are committed to creating an inclusive, nurturing environment that celebrates each child’s curiosity, creativity and individuality. Our mission is to offer a space where children are encouraged to explore, question and engage through hands-on experiences.

Learning is a collaborative process, built on strong relationships between children, educators and families. Research shows the first five years are critical for brain development, so our centres provide dynamic environments where children actively participate in their growth.

We aim to inspire wonder, critical thinking, and respect, supporting the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically.

Culture is celebrated as an essential part of learning, honouring children's diverse backgrounds and providing opportunities to explore traditions, languages, and perspectives.

We value play as a powerful tool for learning. Where children engage in self-directed, imaginative activities that encourage problem-solving, creativity and social interaction.

What is Childcare Subsidy (CCS)?

Child Care Subsidy, also known as CCS, is an Australian Government program designed to assist families with the cost of childcare. The subsidy aims to make childcare more affordable and accessible for families. To work out an estimate of your out of pocket expenses, follow the link below. A Customer Reference Number (CRN) will need to be provided to the centre to receive your Centrelink CCS co-contribution to your fees. Follow the link below to find out more about your Customer Reference Number. Your CCS activity levels are confirmed by Centrelink depending on your circumstances and will provide a number of hours of care each fortnight. To find out more information about CCS and eligibility, go to the Child Care Subsidy Information page on Services Australia available below.

How does the childcare Subsidy (CCS) work?

Your subsidy will be subtracted from the full fees owing, leaving a gap fee which is the amount families pay to the Centre. The subsidy a family receives is determined by the Government and not by Simba Education. The amount depends on your family's employment and study activities. More information can be found in the link below. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to apply for Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) from the Government over and above the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). The Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) is a Temporary Financial Hardship payment designed to support families experiencing significant financial stress due to exceptional circumstances. To discuss your individual circumstances, please contact our service for further support.
