The inspiration for the brand name "Seeds" was created from their belief that their centres will be a place where children will flourish. Like a tiny seed, a child that is well nurtured will grow healthy and thrive. Key to our approach is fostering a strong sense of social and emotional intelligence to develop a life long hunger for learning at our Shailer Park & Ballina childcare centres.
Without a family network close by it was very important for me to find a child care centre that provided a consistent environment with a low turnover of staff. I feel my daughter is learning every day and experiencing the joy of establishing friendships in a safe and stimulating environment. Our toddler program will help your child with self-help routines, language, social and emotional awareness.
My daughter is overcoming her shyness since attending child care and loving making new friends. The staff have been great in making this happen, and I leave the centre knowing they are sensitive to her needs. Suitable for children up to 2 years of age, Seeds Ballina's Nursery program is all about building trust and a feeling of security for your child at both an individual and group level in an fun learning environment.
Research has proven that a strong sense of social and emotional intelligence, in your child's early learning years will provide a positive affect on how well your child will manage at school, form successful relationships with others and develop general life skills. At Seeds Early Learning Centres we are very passionate about creating a solid foundation for your child's school years by focusing heavily on their social and emotional learning.
Play unlocks the world of social relations for a child - it is a journey that lasts until adulthood! It is important that children learn about getting along with peers and play is how this happens. We encourage the development of strong relationships at our Ballina & Shailer Park child care centres under the watchful eyes of our highly qualified early childhood educators.

A warm and welcoming centre which is genuinely dedicated to the growth and development of your child with nurturing and care. Our son has developed in leaps and bounds in 12 months at the centre and we couldn't imagine placing him anywhere else. We tried two brand new centres before coming to seeds and they were all show and no heart. Seeds is all heart.

My daughter was almost 5 when we moved from Melbourne to QLD - she had a big group of friends in Melbourne but was always shy around other kids she didn't know - the anxiety i had about uprooting her and starting her at a new kinder was intense and i think it may have rubbed off onto my daughter too.
After less than a week at Seeds it was like we hadn't even moved!! - she had made new friends, been invited to birthday parties, was excited to go to kinder in the mornings and raved about all of her teachers.
Honestly super sad that she will only be there for another few months before starting Prep

I can’t speak highly enough of Lyndsay & her team at Seeds. We had to switch kindys halfway through term & they were so quick to respond & accomodate us. We were enrolled within a day. Our transition was smooth & Alex loves his new kindy. The head teacher Ms Jordan has been fantastic to deal with, easy to talk to & very responsive. She is always available to talk & give feedback. I highly recommend Seeds at Shailer Park.

I was very hesitant to enrol my daughter into daycare last year as she was very clingy and did not want to go anywhere without me. (2 years old) I chose Seeds Shailer Park because it had a very welcoming and comfortable feel about the place when i went for a tour and the staff seemed lovely. 1 year on and i have absolutely no doubts that Seeds is the best daycare around, my daughter has thrived and the staff are AMAZING. Highly recommend Seeds to any mums who are a bit nervous about enrolling their child for the first time 💜

Seeds Shailer Park is simply incredible! I can't recommend this centre enough! Since starting, my child has really blossomed and is just thriving! I love how each child is treated as an individual and their uniqueness is celebrated- all activities are base around the children. The Educators are amazing and it's evident they love their job. Such a friendly and family orientated environment. Thank you!!

Just like many other parents can understand, choosing a centre is not an easy task but boy did we strike it lucky to come across Seeds at Shailer Park. My children have been attending this centre for two years now with no regrets, the quality of care and love my children receive each day walking into Seeds is next to none. I am so grateful to have found such a wholesome, family orientated centre that makes leaving my two babies in the morning that little bit easier. Thank you Seeds, there is no other centre I’d recommend to friends, family and any one else we come across!

The team at Seeds Shailer Park are absolutely amazing. They work as a team to provide amazing activities and learning experiences using a diverse range of resources and imagination. An awesome bonus is the prepared meals they provide. Both our boys absolutely love attending Seeds because of the relationships the ladies have fostered with the boys as well as helped them form caring and healthy friendships. The teachers have so much love and care for our boys as well as for us. They go above and beyond in all the big events and as well as the every day things. We highly recommend this centre.
