Ready to experience The Little Unicorn difference?
I love the little bonds they have shared. I never thought I would see a bond as beautiful as the one Stella shared last year with Jade, until Chelsea! Stella walks around at home calling her, and she’s the first person she says whilst walking to her class. The way all the educators treat our children, I can’t even describe. I’ve never felt right about working and putting my kids in daycare until we came across The Little Unicorn!!!
I love the fact that I pick up my babies and they are always laughing or smiling and have had the absolute best day!
Conveniently located in the Honeysuckle Precinct at Newcastle, our long-day childcare centre caters for ages 6 weeks to 5 years.
