We are situated opposite St Pius Primary School and within a three-minute walk to Camdenville Public School.

Families at our Enmore campus enjoy –
- Dedicated outdoor play areas – including sandpits, climbing equipment and child-led gardens – where children have plenty of space for exploration, creativity and self-directed play.
- Our age-based indoor spaces are designed to encourage children to learn and grow, at their age and stage of development, in a secure ‘home away from home’ environment.
- Connecting with our local community through planned excursions and community activities that build on the children’s learning and interests. At our Enmore childcare centre we have a close connection with Camdenville Public School and their Community Garden. We have two garden plots that children love to tend to on regular excursions. Our families contribute to the Community Garden Composting program by bringing in food scraps.

- Left Brain Logic – Literacy & Language, Exploration & STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering & Math) and Sustainability

Our Grow curriculum is delivered via intentional teaching in dynamic small group learning environments where children’s successes, skills and challenges are monitored on an ongoing basis.
