About Us

A Place Where Children Feel Safe, Supported and Inspired

At Little Palace Preschool Gymea, we believe the early years are some of the most important in a child’s life. Our boutique preschool and childcare centre provides a calm, nurturing and engaging environment where children feel valued, supported and encouraged to explore the world around them.

From babies through to preschool-aged children, we create meaningful learning experiences that help every child develop confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning.

Our Philosophy

Learning Through Discovery

Our Montessori-inspired approach encourages children to learn through exploration, creativity and hands-on experiences.

We recognise that every child is unique. By following children’s interests and supporting their natural curiosity, we help them develop the emotional, social, physical and cognitive foundations needed for future success.

Through play, investigation and meaningful relationships, children learn to communicate, collaborate, solve problems and develop confidence in their own abilities.

Caring For Every Child

We understand how important trust is when choosing childcare.
Many of our educators are parents themselves and bring warmth, patience and genuine care into every interaction. We focus on creating secure relationships that help children feel safe, settled and confident throughout their day.
Combined with nutritious meals prepared daily by our in-house chef, strong educator-to-child ratios and a commitment to safety and wellbeing, families can feel confident their child is receiving exceptional care.

What Our Families Say

Veronica Mikhail

If I could rate this centre 100 Stars I would. Ms Esperance and all the educators (every single one of them, Darlings and Treasures) are phenomenal. They have provided both my daughters with exceptional care, love, support, kindness, education and have taught them things I would have not known how. The centre really is our second family and I am forever grateful to every single educator there.

They go above and beyond to support every child and for a fact, my daughter was extremely difficult and they never gave up on her and always continued to provide abundant love and support to me and her. I will forever be grateful to this centre and their educators and I highly recommend them always. I cannot imagine my children in any other place. They are hands down, the best centre EVER.

Thank you to Ms Esperance, Ms Loretta and Ms Joyce and every single educator name by name.

We love you all very much.

Katarzyna Jedrusinska

We have a very positive experience with Little Palace daycare. The educators are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. Even when we experienced my child’s behaviour changes, educators were very supportive to try different approaches and work together which means so much as a parent.

The centre is always clean, organised, and full of engaging activities that encourage learning and creativity. Communication with families has also been excellent — we always feel informed and supported.

I’m very grateful for the kindness and dedication of the whole team and would highly recommend this daycare to other families.

Jasmine Smith

Incredibly grateful for the hard working and loving educators! I am that mother who freaked out and was scared to trust anyone to look after my kids. My kids have thrived at Montessori Junior. My son received school read workbooks and my daughter who is 2 is loving her room educators. Highly recommend. On a side note, they really loved/love the food, my son stills ask me to make recipes like daycare and he is in kindergarten. As a mother I love the special celebration they put on for Easter, mothers/father’s day/Christmas – where I get to meet the other parents !

Linda Di Donato

My son started at 9 months here, whilst he didn’t take to it at first, the beautiful staff would always seek ways to assist the transition to help make it a better experience for him. Now he is 2 and stands at our front door ready to go. My daughter has also started and she also has a great time.

We love how the owner takes a hand on approach within the centre and every single staff member has been so amazing to our kids we absolutely will recommend to anyone.

Peter Davis

Fantastic day care with wonderful carers. Our daughter loves it, and happily tells us about her day each night. There are lots of different spaces for the children to play in, including an excellent outdoors area which is quite shady. There is also a covered outdoors area so the kids can still play outdoors during poor weather.

Bruna Veloso de Araujo Rodrigues

Little Palace has been a huge part of our lives for the last four years. To us, they aren’t just educators—they are family. Miss Esperance and the entire team of educators treated our son like one of their own. Their open communication and warm hearts made a world of difference for our family. We will truly miss them and cannot thank them enough for the love they poured into our son.

Kelly Gibbs

I cannot speak highly enough of the educators at Little Palace. They’re loving, thoughtful, attentive, responsible, kind, organised, and the list goes on. All fears I had about sending my baby to childcare have been truly alleviated by this wonderful team led by Miss Esperance and Miss Loretta, and I now can’t imagine life without them and their support.

Nata Bagshaw

My daughter joined Little Palace when she was 6 months old, now she is 4 years old, she loves every single teacher there and the director of Little Palace is already like a part of our family. Two years ago without hesitation I enrolled my son in Little Palace.
Small, boutique style day care. Attention to details, care about your child. Love them
