A Place Where Your Child Is Truly Known — We Don't Just Watch Them.
"He's never cried at drop-off — not once. The educators know our son better than some of his own family."
— Dani JT, Teddybears parent
Why Families Choose Teddybears
Above-Ratio Educator Care
We always have extra teachers in every room. This means your child gets more attention and real care.
Low Educator Turnover
Our teachers stay for years, not months. Your child sees the same caring faces every morning.
Fresh Nutritious Meals Daily
Our chef cooks healthy meals every day — breakfast, morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea. We can handle any food allergy too.
Natural Learning Environment
Kids play on real grass, under shady trees, and in our garden. Our wooden play areas help them move, explore, and feel confident.
Warm, Caring Educators
We love each child just the way they are. Our teachers are patient, kind, and always ready to help them learn.
Truly Inclusive Community
All children are welcome here, no matter their ability or background. Every Macarthur family becomes part of ours.
Nurturing Potential at Every Stage
We care for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. Kids join a room with friends their own age, so everyone learns and plays at just the right pace.
We don't rush children into the next room.
We move your child up when they are ready — not just on their birthday. We always talk with you first.
A Day in the Life at Teddybears
You will always know what your child is doing during the day. That gives you peace of mind while you work.
Warm Arrival & Breakfast
We greet each child by name, then puzzles and a warm breakfast.
Outdoor Discovery & Exploration
Fresh air in the garden, sandpit play, the mud kitchen, and running around.
Morning Tea & Story Circle
Fresh fruit, songs together, and a chat about today's plan.
Guided Learning & Studio Art
Letters and sounds, clay and art, simple science, and room activities.
Chef Hot Lunch & Relaxation
A warm, healthy lunch together, then quiet rest time.
Rest, Sleep & Quiet Reflection
Soft music and a nap for babies, quiet time for older kids.
Afternoon Tea & Outdoor Play
A healthy snack, water play outside, and games with friends.
Late Activity & Family Reunions
Stories, drawing, a late snack, and a chat with you at pick-up.

Some kind words from our parents
"Both my kids have attended Teddybears — my daughter from 3.5 and my son from 9 months. From day one, I felt safe and welcomed."
"My toddler has come here since he was 8 months old. He's never cried at drop-off — not once. The staff know him so well!"
"My daughter has special needs and has come here since 11 months old. Their care and support has been amazing. We love this place."
"My daughter's bond with her teachers is so strong. At pick-up time, she often wants to keep playing with them!"

Your Child's Safety & Wellbeing Come First. Always.
We keep your child safe with strong security, careful sign-in, and allergy care — so drop-off feels easy.
Keypad & Gate Security
Our gates use security codes to keep your child safe. Only parents and staff can get in.
Sign-In & ID Check
Everyone signs in at drop-off and pick-up. We always check ID for anyone we don't know.
Allergy & Food Safety
We are 100% nut-free. We label foods clearly, and our staff are trained to help if a child has an allergic reaction.
Clean & Safe Every Day
We clean toys, cots, and play areas every evening with safe, gentle cleaners. The baby room has fresh, filtered air.
