About Us

A small, calm early learning centre in Greendale

We think children learn best when they feel safe and unhurried, with plenty of room to play and figure things out for themselves.

What we believe

At Gentle Giants Daycare, we’re committed to nurturing each child’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth, while encouraging independence, creativity and kindness. By valuing family partnerships and celebrating diversity, we create a welcoming community that inspires confidence and a lifelong love of learning.

Why we started

Gentle Giants began with a simple belief: that young children learn best in a small, calm, caring environment where they are truly known. We set out to build a centre that feels less like an institution and more like an extension of home, where every child is greeted by name, where routines are steady, and where families are genuine partners in their child’s early years.

Small, and staying small

Licensing and safety

Gentle Giants is a licensed child care centre, and the safety and wellbeing of every child is our first priority. Our care is led by certified early childhood educators, and we maintain the health, safety and supervision standards required of a licensed facility. We’re always happy to talk through our policies and procedures with families.
