About
Inspired by our inner western location in the pocket of St Lucia, we treat our newest centre as a place of calmness and peace, where nature is at the centre of learning. Our children, their families, and our educators have a strong sense of belonging and enjoyment as part of The Pocket community.
Our philosophy at The Pocket is that the early years in a child’s life is are crucial in shaping their future. Our team at The Pocket Early Education and Care are your parenting partners, and we’ll be here to help your children grow and develop into bright individuals. See The Pocket’s philosophy here.
