Welcome to Harmony Bangalow
Harmony Bangalow opened in 2022. With an exclusively designed homely feel and an imaginative outdoor play area, the centre can cater for up to 60 children aged from birth to 5 years.
Early Learning tailored to your child
From birth to five years old, at Harmony we are passionate about creating environments which enable exceptional learning and development opportunities.
Our birth to twos
We are committed to the wellbeing of your infant by fostering a strong sense of belonging at our centre. Communicating with you every step of the way, we take special care to ensure your child has a safe, secure and supportive environment for their growth and development.
Our twos and threes
This is a time of big changes for young children including increased independence and more curious questions. Our educators welcome each child’s curiosity and autonomy and offer our twos and threes a stimulating environment to explore and learn at their individual pace.
Our threes, fours and fives
The preschool/kindergarten years are an important time of growth and development. With our learning and teaching philosophy of fostering a child’s development through inquiry, we introduce our threes, fours and fives to learning opportunities which assist with developing the skills, attitudes and dispositions that will help them make the transition to formal schooling.
