  • 2 DEDICATED rooms specifically for The Arts. We have our purpose-built Performing Arts Studio where the children learn to play musical instruments, dance, sing and act. And we have our unique Visual Arts Studio where the children draw, paint and sculpt.

Children also benefit from our design decision to include ample storage. Traditionally, child care facilities are space poor and clutter can be an issue.

At Leap Start Early Learning Child Care Southern River, each room has built-in storage cupboards which leave learning areas free of clutter and encourages children to tidy up after an experience. We believe this is important for children to learn, and it helps them develop the habit at home.

My daughter had been attending Leap Start for over a year now. Absolutely thrilled with the care my child receives at Leap Start Southern River! The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, making drop-offs easy every morning. The facilities are always clean and safe, and my child loves the engaging activities they offer. I've seen such growth in my child's social and cognitive skills since starting here. By providing Halal food certainly makes my life easier and one less thing to worry about. Highly recommend Leap Start Southern River to any parent!

We couldn't be happier with the treatment of our child. They know exactly what calms her down when she is upset at drop off, which is a rare these days. We moved her from another centre down the road and the two are chalk and cheese, the staff turnover is very low so my daughter always has her person, it also shows they treat their staff right. They are also really flexible and accommodating if we need an extra day, even when we call at 6am the day of. I would recommend them to anyone

My son started leap start a couple months back, and the girls that work there have made the transition so easy for us both. He had never been to daycare before and they were so helpful and caring. The constantly keep me updated with what’s going on and always happy to answer any questions I may have ( being a new parent to daycare ). The facilities at leap start are all top quality and new! There is a huge variety of activities and learn experiences always set up. I feel completely at ease with my son being cared for by the ladies here while I’m working. I highly recommend leap start southern river !
