Care, play and early learning in Condell Park

Little Gems is a long day care centre on Taylor Street, caring for children from 18 months to 6 years. Our educators take the time to give each child real attention and understand the routines, interests and experiences they bring from home.

Your Family Is Part of the Conversation

Our families come from many backgrounds, and it shows in our days: the languages children hear, the celebrations we share and the food we welcome. Tell us what matters at home and we’ll build on it here.

Starting with us

Familiar before their first day


Every child gets to know the centre, the educators and the daily routine before their first day. Here’s how it works.

  1. Visit and meet us

    Tour the centre, watch an ordinary day unfold and ask us anything that matters to you.

  2. Two settling visits together

    Before they start, your child spends two settling visits here with you by their side, meeting the educators and learning the routine.

  3. Their first day

    Familiar faces, a familiar room and a routine they already know make the first morning easier for everyone.
