Rooted In Nature, Growing With Purpose

THE SEEDLINGS & CO PHILOSOPHY

A place for your little seedlings to blossom.

The environment offers enriching experiences for children to fulfil their sense of wonder and curiosity while learning about sustainable practices. Building meaningful relationships with the community and celebrating cultural and social diversity is part of our learning journey.

Nourished Through Knowledge

Seedlings & Co believes knowledge is a lifelong investment, fostering growth in both educators and children. Through continuous professional development, the team stays at the forefront of early childhood research, blending innovation with proven practices. Whether through hands-on numeracy activities indoors or nature-based explorations in the bush kindy, every experience is rooted in evidence-based approaches—ensuring meaningful learning, curiosity, and holistic development. By nurturing wisdom, Seedlings & Co cultivates confident learners and empowered educators, building a foundation for lifelong discovery.

Community Champions

Seedlings & Co recognises that it takes a village to raise a child—and that village is rich with wisdom, culture, and connection. The service actively partners with families, local organisations, Elders, and community groups to shape real-world learning that extends far beyond the centre. Children thrive when surrounded by diverse voices and lived experiences, gaining a deeper understanding of the world and their place within it. By fostering inclusive, respectful relationships, Seedlings & Co celebrates the strength of community and the vital role it plays in nurturing belonging, empathy, and lifelong learning.

Embracers of Nature

At Seedlings & Co, nature is the heartbeat of our curriculum. Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian Forest school models, our bush kindy program invites children to explore wild spaces, climb trees, care for native flora and fauna, and engage in purposeful tasks like gardening, harvesting, and woodwork. Through supported risky play—such as carpentry using real tools—children develop strength, coordination, and confidence, while learning to assess risk and care for their environment. These outdoor experiences foster resilience, curiosity, and a deep sense of belonging to the land, nurturing capable learners who walk gently and boldly in the world.

Exceptional Educators

Seedlings & Co’s educators and pedagogues are recognised as skilled professionals—curious, capable, and deeply dedicated to their craft. The organisation invests in high-quality professional development and meaningful mentorship, fostering a culture of continuous growth, reflection, and excellence. This commitment empowers the team to integrate research-informed practices into every setting, whether indoors or outdoors, creating dynamic and responsive learning environments. Through this approach, children, families, and the entire learning community flourish together.

What Parents are Saying

Real stories from families who’ve seen their little ones thrive in our joyful, nurturing environment.

W Natalie

My daughters absolutely love the outdoor environment here. The access to a natural bush area is perfect for our eldest, who is always eager to climb trees, while our youngest can be found napping peacefully in the forest cradle. It's wonderful to see them both enjoying nature in their own way. Highly recommended

Mingxi Guan

Our son has been attending this kindergarten since January, and it has now been more than half a year. From feeling uneasy at first to now being excited to go every day, this wonderful change is due to the care, love, and guidance provided by the nursery educators. We appreciate it. As parents, we are very happy and reassured to have our child in this kindergarten. Firstly, the educators are warm, enthusiastic, and kind. They treat the children like their own, giving them endless love. Because of this, our son feels happy, relaxed, and joyful—just like at home. Secondly, the educators design a wide variety of engaging activities tailored to the developmental stage of this age group. They are especially good at using familiar materials from the children's surroundings—such as bottle caps, cardboard boxes, egg cartons, and leaves—to make toys that the children love. This not only creates a sense of familiarity but also provides hands-on experiences, broadens their horizons, and helps them learn. Thirdly, the children enjoy plenty of outdoor activities, which give them valuable physical exercise. Although this increases the workload for the educators, they still do it with dedication. This truly reflects the kindergarten’s educational philosophy: returning to nature. Fourthly, the educators patiently nurture the children’s abilities. They teach our son step by step how to eat by himself, tidy up toys, read books, and practice speaking. He is growing and progressing rapidly. Therefore, We feel very assured about the kindergarten and deeply admire the nursery educators. Thank you all for your hard work! I sincerely wish the kindergarten continued success and prosperity.

Hands down the best, supportive and trusted daycare centre for our babies. From providing nutritious meals, fun interactive activities and event for families to come together as a community has been awesome to be apart of. My child in particular has level 3 ASD. The extra support, genuine interest and how they have worked with us to create a safe environment for my child is truly appreciated. They really do care for our children and my daughter loves going everyday. Thank you Rose, Esther, Hazel, Ying just to name a few & team for really caring and wanting the best for our children.

We are thrilled with the exceptional care and attention our daughters receive at Seedling & CO. - Calamvale. The educators here have genuinely sparked our daughter's enthusiasm for attending childcare, which was previously a challenge elsewhere. Their dedication is evident in how they nurture both our kids' skills and behavior. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

A very good child care, kind and professional staff here to take care of our children. Every morning, we get a very warm welcome from the receptionist.

This is my daughter's favorite childcare. Every morning she asks me excitedly: Mom, are you ready to take me to childcare？My child is making great progress every day! Thanks for Seedlings & Co!

Mahomed Girach

I have been very impressed with the level of teaching here. Along with that is that empathy and compassionate staff that have made my daughters transition into school that much easier. I don’t ever worry about my daughter once she is there. It’s almost like a home away from home but with a great learning element to it. I recommend this place to everyone. 🤗

Louie Wright

The best child care around! Both kids went through from 8months old to Kindy and still attend for OSCH. Couldn’t ask for more caring staff and amazing facilities and focus on the outdoors and nature play. Highly recommend.

Jenney Ngo

Awesome centre, my 2 kids love the centre. They helped me lots especially with my girl who started when she was only a few months old. All staffs are lovely and professional. We had them helping with after school care as well. Miss Jen always helped me to organise kids pick up when I couldn't leave work on time or stuck in traffic due to incidents. Kids always ask if they could go to after school care❤️ A massive thank you to everyone at the centre.

I cannot express how happy I send my little one to Seedling childcare. The atmosphere is great - rooms are clean and tidy inside, and playground is very nice. Children can easily find their interest. ALL the staff /educators are welcoming, friendly and willing to help. My little one learns many words (he is only 2) and good manner here. Also I have to say that meals provided at Seedling are great - nutritious and yummy.
