Where Little Minds Grow and Big Futures Begin
Daisy's Early Learning and Care is a family-owned childcare centre in Southern River, built on a simple belief: every child deserves to feel safe, curious and celebrated. From our gentle Babies room through to our School Ready kindergarten program, we nurture the whole child.
A Place That Feels Like Home
At Daisy's, we are not a franchise. We are a locally owned, purpose-built early learning centre in the heart of Southern River. Our team knows every child by name, and our families become part of the Daisy's community from day one.
Our approach is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and shaped by a genuine belief that children learn best when they feel safe, connected and inspired. Whether your child is six weeks old or preparing for their first day of school, we create environments where curiosity leads the way.

Three Dedicated Rooms, One Consistent Philosophy
Every age group has its own space, its own educators and a program tailored to exactly where your child is in their development.
Babies
A warm, gentle environment with low ratios, consistent caregivers and routines that mirror home. Sensory play, tummy time, music and first words form the foundation of your child's earliest learning experiences.

Toddlers
Growing independence meets gentle guidance. Our toddlers explore language, movement, creativity and early social skills through structured and free play in spaces designed for their natural curiosity and energy.

Kindergarten
Our kindergarten program is where learning takes shape. Through our dedicated School Ready curriculum, children build literacy, numeracy, social confidence and emotional resilience, leaving Daisy's prepared for their first day of school.

Our signature School Ready program is designed specifically for children in their pre-kindy and kindy years. It goes beyond ABCs and 123s to build the confidence, social skills and self-regulation your child needs to thrive from their very first day at school.
Developed by our experienced educators and aligned with the WA curriculum framework, School Ready covers six key pillars:

Quality childcare does not have to stretch the budget. Daisy's is an approved Child Care Subsidy (CCS) provider, which means eligible families can receive significant government support towards their childcare fees.
The amount you receive depends on your family's combined income. From 2026, the Australian Government's 3 Day Childcare Guarantee ensures every child can access at least three subsidised days of care per week, regardless of parent activity levels.
Families earning under $85,279: Up to 90% subsidy
Families earning $85,279 to $535,279: Sliding scale subsidy
3 Day Guarantee: Minimum 3 subsidised days per week from 2026
Rates current as at July 2025. Visit Services Australia for full details.
