About Us
Why Families Choose Lakeside Creative Minds
We believe that every child deserves to feel supervised, loved, supported, and cared for during their growing years. At Lakeside Creative Minds, an early childhood education centre in Raymond Terrace, we offer more than childcare and a community preschool; we provide a family atmosphere where educators not only know your child’s name but also their sensitivities, strengths, interests, and dreams. Our preschool programs ensure personalized early learning in its best form, where your child feels valued and special each day.
With 39 children only, we’re intentionally intimate. Your child gets personalized attention that the big daycare promises but can’t provide. Our evidence-informed programs follow the Early Years Learning Framework, supporting the unique and valuable journey of children from baby childcare to confident, school-ready kids with individualized learning experiences.
From our expansive outdoor learning spaces, which are purpose-built for natural play, to Bachelor-qualified teachers who deliver STEAM education, every minor detail matters. We partner with families with strong daily communication and regular developmental conversations about their children. When you choose Lakeside Creative Minds, an early childhood education centre for daycare, childcare, or community preschool, you actually choose a place where children truly flourish and feel known, nurtured, and loved.
