The real question is: How does a centre actually feel when children are learning, playing, socialising, eating, and interacting throughout the day?
Choosing a childcare centre is one of the most important decisions a family can make — and brochures, websites, and quick tours only tell part of the story.
Our FREE Childcare Experience sessions invite families to spend a real morning inside Believe Playschool childcare in Ultimo, every Wednesdays and Thursday mornings from 9am to 12pm. Observing how the centre operates, how educators interact with children, and how children learn, play, socialise, and feel within the environment is the best way to assess it.
Children will enjoy:
✨ Interactive play-based learning
✨ Construction & creative activities
✨ Social experiences with peers
✨ Lunch with other children
Parents stay throughout the session and experience the atmosphere firsthand — the best way to understand a centre’s values, energy, and culture, and whether it feels like the right fit for your little one.

Genuine Partnership With Families
High-quality early learning Ultimo families value is built on strong collaboration between educators and parents.
Children achieve the best outcomes when parents and educators work together with shared expectations and consistent messages between home and care.
We actively partner with families to support each child’s development. This includes open communication, shared strategies and mutual respect. That is to say, when values align, children have the best chance of success, as they benefit emotionally, socially and developmentally.
Education not Babysitting
At Believe Playschool, we deliver a professional early learning service that places children at the centre of our practice. Moreover, we actively ground our approach in current early childhood development research, ensuring that our teaching reflects proven, evidence-based practices.
We intentionally teach children how to:
- regulate their emotions
- communicate respectfully
- build friendships
- develop independence
- manage challenges with confidence
At Believe Playschool, we intentionally establish clear and consistent expectations around behaviour, wellbeing, and learning. As a result, children are not confused and feel supported to engage positively, build self-regulation skills, and participate confidently in their learning environment.

Health Wellbeing and Safety
Our philosophy actively prioritises children’s health, safety, and long-term wellbeing. As a result, we deliberately inform all of our practices with independent research and current best-practice recommendations to ensure the highest standards of care.
Nutrition
By maintaining clear and consistent nutrition standards, we actively support children’s physical health, concentration, and emotional regulation. Consequently, well-nourished children are better able to engage in learning experiences, sustain focus, and develop strong self-regulation skills. Furthermore, we thoughtfully cater for all dietary requirements and preferences, whether cultural, medical, or personal, to ensure every child feels included and supported.
Sleep & Rest
We intentionally design and implement rest and sleep routines that promote healthy brain development and strengthen emotional balance. As a result, well-rested children manage social interactions more effectively, regulate their emotions with greater confidence, and engage fully in learning experiences throughout the day.
Behaviour & Social Expectations
We actively guide children toward respectful behaviour and positive social interactions. When challenges arise, however, we address anti-social behaviour through intentional teaching, ongoing support, positive role modelling, and clear, consistent expectations. In addition, we work in close consultation with families to ensure a shared understanding and a supportive, unified approach.
Non-Toxic Environment
To further support children’s health and wellbeing, we research and use plant-based cleaning products, non-toxic creams, and non-toxic sunscreen throughout our service. As a result, we significantly reduce children’s exposure to unnecessary and potentially harmful chemicals, which supports their overall wellbeing. In our experience, many families are often surprised to discover just how many infant and children’s products on supermarket shelves still contain harmful chemicals.
Our Child Care Ultimo service Signature Programs
Emotional Resilience Program
Through intentional guidance and modelling, educators actively support children to understand and regulate their emotions. As a result, children learn to communicate respectfully, build confidence, and gradually develop healthy, positive social relationships.
School Readiness Program
Through our holistic school readiness approach, we support children to develop independence, emotional maturity, and social confidence. As a result, children build strong foundations in early literacy and numeracy. Ultimately, this well-rounded preparation equips them with the skills, confidence, and resilience needed for a smooth and successful transition to school.
Cooking & Nutrition Program
Through weekly hands-on cooking experiences, children are introduced to essential food hygiene practices, basic nutrition knowledge, and early science concepts. At the same time, these experiences encourage cultural appreciation as children explore a variety of foods and traditions. Furthermore, regular participation in cooking activities builds independence, strengthens fine-motor skills, and supports children’s confidence in everyday life skills.
