We take a holistic approach to your child’s early learning and development. Beyond our evidence-based curriculum is a team of dedicated educators eager to provide a nurturing environment that inspires.
Harmony educators believe that alongside traditional literacy and numeracy skills, children should be supported in developing life skills and emotional intelligence attributes to become successful learners and community members.
Infants begin to absorb the wonder and complexity of the world around them. They are naturally curious explorers as they observe, listen, investigate and learn.
At Harmony, we’re committed to providing our youngest children with a safe and stimulating environment for their holistic growth, development and sense of belonging, supported by our specialist educators.
Our early childhood educators welcome each new infant with respect and anticipation. They take the time to learn about your child through careful observation and through daily communication with families to understand their unique requirements and routines.
Two to three year olds learn through exploration, investigation and inquiry. These exciting and curious years bring increased independence and more questions.
Our passionate early childhood educators welcome each child with enthusiasm and respect. We know that this age group is curious, energetic and in a growth leap – that’s why we focus on learning about each child and develop a self-paced environment to help them flourish and succeed. We encourage comprehensive, two-way communication to keep you informed with how your child is progressing with and alongside us.
Providing an environment which enables children to flourish as critical thinkers, confident learners and resilient play partners.
Our qualified pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and preschool teachers and educators are committed to working with and alongside your child as they engage with the ever-changing nature of our world. We know children will need a wide range of life skills and an emerging sense of self as they approach their formal school years.

Stay Connected
Harmony is excited to be working with Xplor Education to provide the convenience of an app especially designed for families with children in care. The Xplor ‘Home’ app connects parents and carers to their child’s learning journey and allows for quick and convenient communication with the centre, digital sign-ins and attendance, bookings management and health event tracking.
This one app provides our families with everything they need to manage their Harmony journey and stay connected at every interaction.
Communication with you as a parent/carer is a non-negotiable at Harmony. We want you to stay informed during each step of your child’s experiences, especially in regard to their learning, development and special moments.
Families can sign children in and out of Harmony centres quickly and easily with just a few taps on their mobile device.
Families have the flexibility to make payments and bookings while on the go while complying with the new electronic payment of gap fee regulations.
Constant updates allow parents and carers to effortlessly track their child’s health and safety throughout the day.
Affordability varies from family to family, but it doesn’t have to prevent your child from attending a high-quality, holistic centre.
With our designated Child Care Subsidy (CCS) status, our goal is to welcome every child into an environment that’s best for their growth, learning and wellbeing.
The CCS is financial assistance provided by the Commonwealth Government to approved child care centres, family day care schemes, registered carers, outside school hour’s programs and occasional care services. This subsidy is ‘means tested’ and managed by the Family Assistance Office (FAO).
If you receive approval for CCS, you’ll pay less out-of-pocket for child care fees.
To be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy the following requirements must be met:
The Child must
The person claiming the Child Care Subsidy, or their partner, must
There are exemptions for individuals who genuinely cannot meet some eligibility requirements.
