Tiny Steps to Big Discoveries: Our Nursery Program

Your baby’s first years are filled with wonder, tiny triumphs, and fast-growing milestones. At Simba Education, we believe these early moments deserve more than just care—they deserve connection, joy, and a learning environment as warm as home.

That’s where our Nursery Program for children aged 6 weeks to 2 years comes in. It’s more than just long day care—it’s a carefully crafted experience where your child can explore, grow, and feel safe, seen, and supported every day.

A Learning Sanctuary for Children

Our youngest learners—enjoy a space that feels like a learning sanctuary

Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and the Early Years Learning Framework, we treat even the tiniest babies as capable learners with their own voice, rhythm, and curiosity.

We personalise each child’s journey. Whether your little one is building motor skills through sensory play or developing emotional awareness through consistent, caring interactions, their experience is tailored to support their growth.

The foundation of our approach? Respect and responsiveness.

Inspired by the RIE philosophy (Respectful and Responsive Care), we slow down, tune in, and respond to every child care needs with genuine attentiveness—whether it’s feeding, changing, or helping them settle.

What Makes Simba Childcare Different?

Here’s how we make your baby’s days feel safe, supportive, and meaningful:

1. Fostering Trust through Care

We create deep connections through predictable routines and focused attention. 

Whether bottle-feeding or offering cuddles during nap time, our educators respond with calm, respectful care. It’s more than a job—it’s a relationship.

2. Encouraging Independence

Even infants can make choices! From selecting toys to rolling during tummy time, we nurture confidence by encouraging exploration in safe, stimulating environments—just like a quality home childcare setup.

3. Growing Emotional Intelligence

From giggles to tears, your baby is learning how to express themselves. 

Our educators help guide them through early emotions, so every feeling—frustration, joy, wonder—is validated and supported.

Play is Their Superpower

We believe play is serious business. That’s why we blend fun with foundational learning through programs focused on:

  • Sensory Play: Tummy time, textured toys, music play, and baby-safe water fun spark curiosity and build fine/gross motor skills.
  • Creative Enrichment: From baby-safe paint to rhythm and dance, these moments lay the groundwork for school readiness and non-verbal communication.
  • Indoor–Outdoor Flow: Babies benefit from fresh air too! Our outdoor spaces are designed to let them feel the grass, watch clouds, or blow bubbles—all while practicing balance, speech, and social skills.

These are not just fun moments—they’re the stepping stones of future development.

Structure That Feels Like Home

Babies thrive on rhythm. That’s why we offer flexible yet consistent routines. Our Simba childcare program includes:

  • Customised feeding times (bottle or solids) based on your child’s rhythm
  • Freshly prepared, dietitian-designed meals made on-site
  • Strict safety protocols for introducing solids (we work with your First Food Form)

We also take the stress out of mornings by providing:

  • Nappies, wipes, and barrier cream
  • Cot and linen
  • All meals (formula excluded)
  • Sunscreen

Think of us as an extension of your home setup—but with more structure, more support, and a whole lot of heart.

Our Philosophy: Grow With Us

At Simba Education, every educator, every routine, and every experience is designed with love, intention, and a clear purpose: to nurture confident, curious learners from the very beginning.

We don’t just watch over your baby—we guide them through their first friendships, first words, and first discoveries. From baby class to school readiness, we’re here for every step.

Looking for a centre that feels like “my childcare”—safe, enriching, and genuinely warm?
