Philosophy

 

The Big Treehouse operates on Awabakal land. We acknowledge the Awabakal People as the traditional custodians of the New Lambton region and pay our respects to Awabakal elders past and present. We are committed to a positive future for the Aboriginal community.

The Big Treehouse Early Education and Boutique Preschool offers care for children aged from 3-6 years in a long daycare setting. Our aim is to provide each child with the fundamental skills for life. We want to achieve this by scaffolding their learning through play and providing them with a specialised individual educational program.
