Preschool near Riverstone

Q: What makes your preschool different from others near Riverstone?

Our centre is specifically designed for Riverstone's growing community, with programs addressing local families' unique needs. From extended hours supporting commuter parents to community-building initiatives for new residents, every aspect reflects our deep local understanding.

Q: How early should I enrol my child?

We recommend enquiring as soon as you're considering preschool. Many families secure places 6-12 months in advance, particularly for our extensive school readiness program.

Q: Do you offer programs for children with additional needs?

Absolutely. Our inclusive approach confirms all children receive appropriate support. We work with specialist services and families to create individual learning plans that address specific developmental requirements.

We offer extended hours designed for commuter families, with early morning drop-off and late afternoon pick-up options. Our flexible scheduling helps you balance work commitments with your child's early learning needs.

Q: How do you teach STEM to preschoolers?

STEM is integrated through play, such as building bridges with blocks to learn engineering, or observing rain gauges in our garden to explore basic meteorology and science.

Q: What is the notice period for withdrawing a child?

We require four weeks' written notice for the withdrawal of a child or a permanent reduction in the number of enrolled days.

Q: Do you offer sibling discounts?

We recommend speaking with our Centre Director regarding current fee structures and any available discounts for families with multiple children enrolled.

Q: How do you prepare children for primary school?

Our school readiness program focuses on academic foundations, social skills, emotional regulation, and independence. We maintain strong relationships with local primary schools so that our preparation aligns with their expectations.

We moved here from another centre and so happy we made the change! My toddler no longer melts down every time I leave or for days after, goes straight in to play, sleeps well and the educators are so much better at listening to my requests and working with me which made for such a smooth transition. Love all the outdoor space they have and all the educators all give off a lovely warm vibe. 5/5!

My 4 year old has been attending Flourish for years and has loved her time in each room. The spaces are really warm and welcoming with a brand new large outdoor play area. All the educators are so caring and kind and spend time getting to know each child. My little one is always welcomed with a hug and invited to play when she arrives, eats and sleeps well and comes home happy and buzzing from the day! Thank you Flourish for taking such good care of my little one.

From the moment we enrolled our child, we have been consistently impressed with the level of care, attention, and love the educators provides. each child’s individual needs are valued, and the educators always communicates with us about our child's progress and any concerns. The peace of mind knowing that our little one is in such capable and caring hands means the world to us. Thank you for being a wonderful part of our child’s early years!

I'm so happy with my daughters center. I was hesitant going back to work after having my daughter. I enrolled her at 8.5 months old and the girls in Nursery were very warm and asked me all about my daughters routine and what she likes and doesn't like. I checked in every now and again ( first time parent worries) and the girls were fully supportive and had all the information about my daughter day. Amanda the director called me after my daughters first week and asked how I was finding everything and if I needed any additional support which I really appreciated. My daughter is now almost two and she loves coming to school and interacting with her friends and educators. I couldn't be happier. I'd recommend this center to anyone.

This wasn't our first choice when we moved to the neighbourhood, however this is the only place which had a slot for my kid. Oh boy I am glad that I sent my kid here. The staff are amazing. (Special shout out for Miss Taylor) The place is very spacious and they take great care of the kids. It's a bit away from when I live but it's a sweet little ride to and from the center where we see horses, rabbits, cows and even kangaroos on the way... My kid loved every day she went there. I can't stress this enough... Miss Taylor is awesome x 1000 !! 🙂

Flourish wasn't our first choice but we only got the availability there to start daycare for my LO.. honestly its the best thing happened to us. My kid is always happy there, love being with the educators, sleeps well and eats well (what else I could ask for as a parent!). All the educators and Miss Amanda are so amazing and caring. I feel my kid is in safe hands and being looked after. We have our favourite educators but it will be unfair to mention only a few because all the educators are fabulous, they all give great vibes and always have a smile on their face. I only wish the toddler room was a bit more brighter, more new toys and upgraded outdoor play area will be icing on the cake but overall i will give 5/5. I was trying my LO to get into the new day cares in the area because they have new and upgraded facilities but honestly we are so happy here and will continue sending our kid to Flourish.
