Priority enrolment at Catholic schools

Families of St Nicholas Early Education receive priority enrolment at Catholic schools.

Program and practices

St Nicholas’ educational programs and practices are child-centred, meaningful and maximise opportunities for extending each child or student’s learning and development.

Health and safety

At St Nicholas, we believe all children and students have the right to experience quality education and care in an environment that safeguards and supports their health and wellbeing.

Environments

Our contemporary learning environments are safe and inclusive, and offer a rich and diverse array of experiences to promote the learning and development of children.

Educators

At St Nicholas, we value our educators as our greatest resource for the education and care of your children. That’s why we hire experienced and dedicated educators who foster warm relationships, create stimulating environments and encourage active engagement in our learning programs.

Relationships with children

We place a great deal of importance on ensuring our relationships with children are respectful, responsive and support their sense of belonging and wellbeing.

Family and community partnerships

We believe building and maintaining meaningful partnerships with families and communities based on communication and collaboration is fundamental to achieving quality outcomes for children.

Leadership

At St Nicholas, we understand that effective leadership—at both a service level and in our Support Office—greatly contributes to the learning experience of our children.

Before and After School Care

Vacation Care

Submit a booking request for Before and After School Care or Vacation Care. One of our friendly team members will be in touch as soon as possible.

Please note:

Submitting a booking request or enquiry does not constitute a confirmed booking. No booking is confirmed until you have received email confirmation from St Nicholas.
For casual and Vacation Care bookings, we have a 5-day cancellation policy, after which the parent/carer will be liable for their full fees for that session. For permanent bookings, we have a 2-week cancellation policy.
One-off cancellations for permanent bookings still require the parent/carer to pay their full fees for that session, unless the cancellation is permanent, in which case the family will forfeit their permanent place for that session.
