Orchard Early Learning Centre St Ives is an established early childhood service along Mona Vale Road. At Orchard, we do things differently. We think outside the box and stretch the realms of everyday practice. We advocate for learning programs that provide opportunities for children to engage in open-ended, diverse, meaningful experiences that are connected to nature, while also being connected to our curriculum. The centre is spread across two levels, with defined Nursery and Preschool levels, and the bright and airy rooms flow directly onto the outdoor learning environments, immersing children in our Paddock to Plate philosophy. The service operates from 6.30 am - 6.30 pm and is located in the beautiful St Ives community with local street parking available
