A small, family-run centre

A.C.E is a small centre where children and families can become part of a close-knit  community. 

With up to 34 children attending each day, our size allows us to provide a personal  environment where educators get to know each child and families see familiar faces each  day.  We believe strong relationships are at the heart of quality early childhood education.

“My brother attended A.C.E. over 23 years ago, and now I feel incredibly lucky to send my own son to the very same centre. The care, kindness and genuine love shown by the educators is truly special. A.C.E. has become such an important part of our family’s journey and feels like an extension of home.”
Chelsea
“What truly amazes us is the consistency and dedication of the educators. Their stability and commitment create a comforting, homely atmosphere. The educators genuinely care for every child with kindness, love and unwavering support. The meals, cooked fresh on-site daily, always reflect the care put into every aspect of the children’s experience.”
Chrissie
“Our daughter has attended A.C.E. for a number of years, starting as an infant and progressing through to Kindergarten. We could not be happier with the very high level of care provided by Diana, Elena and the entire team. The Kindergarten program has been terrific, well planned and supervised to a very high level.”
