Our Place, Our Way
A Place Designed for Children and Families
Albury Treetops offers generous, sun filled learning studios alongside expansive outdoor environments that flow seamlessly between indoors and outdoors. These spaces are light filled, layered and welcoming, giving children time and room to linger with ideas, materials and relationships.
Our vast outdoor yards support movement, risk taking, collaboration and quiet moments of reflection. Surrounded by nature, children are encouraged to notice seasonal changes, listen to birdlife and develop a deep connection to the living world around them.
As a purpose built service, every element of Albury Treetops has been designed from the ground up with beauty, pedagogy and children’s rights at the centre.
Learning that is Thoughtful, Curious and Connected
Our program is grounded in a strong image of the child as capable, resourceful and full of potential. We value learning that unfolds over time, where children are supported to test theories, revisit questions and make meaningful connections across experiences.
“The atelier is a place of research, where children and adults think together through materials.”– Vea Vecchi
Dedicated atelier spaces invite children to think through materials, explore many expressive languages and bring ideas to life. These spaces are places of research, creativity and shared thinking between children and educators, where process is valued over product. We also offer a shared, multi age community dining space.
Mealtimes are honoured as moments of connection, conversation and belonging, where children and educators come together to share food, stories and relationships.
“Spaces for thinking. Time for becoming. Room for possibility.”
Nourishing Bodies, Relationships and Community
Our service includes a full kitchen and a dedicated full time chef who prepares fresh, balanced meals each day. Food is seen as an act of care, supporting children’s wellbeing, growth and sense of belonging.
Children are also invited to connect with our kitchen garden area, supporting sustainable practices and care for Country. These experiences help children understand where food comes from and develop respect for the land and the natural systems that sustain us.
Holistic Care from Infancy to School Age
We provide education and care for children from 6 weeks through to school age, including
before and after school care for our Treetops community. This allows siblings to remain connected and honours the importance of family relationships across the day.
Our approach is holistic and relational, recognising that learning, wellbeing and identity are deeply interconnected. Home style spaces, nurturing routines and strong relationships support children to feel safe, secure and confident to explore.
“When we slow down, we deepen our relationships with place, with materials and with one
another.”- Anne Pelo
Belonging to Place and Community
We are proud to be part of the Albury community and value strong, respectful partnerships with families. As a family owned service, relationships sit at the heart of everything we do.
We are committed to listening, learning together and creating a learning community where children, families and educators feel seen, valued and connected.
Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the Wiradjuri people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Albury Treetops Early Education, Care and Preschool is located. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and recognise their enduring connection to Country, culture and community.
