Lifetime of Learning Begins Here

Established in 2001, Holmesville Playhouse Preschool has been a home providing a safe and nurturing environment for our children. We are a family-owned and operated preschool conveniently located on a quiet suburban street, easily accessible off the F3 freeway. At Holmesville Child Care – all children will feel welcomed and at home.

Here at Holmesville, we support everyone and welcome all children as our own. We also support each child’s individual needs; tailor their education to their abilities, and help them with their early learning journey. We are all one family at Holmesville Playhouse Preschool, and we take care of our family!


Our child care centre centrally located in Holmesville, welcomes children from Holmesville, West Wallsend, Cameron park, Edgeworth, Killingsworth and all surrounding suburbs.

Our Mission:
We Build & Nurture Little Humans to be Compassionate & Kind 

Welcome Little learners 

We see children as capable and competent individuals. Their connections to family, community and the world will impact their learning. We recognise the importance of this and strive to be a positive impact that helps your children grow. We believe that early childhood education is the foundation for lifelong learning. Understanding the importance of early childhood education, we have framed a structured curriculum that encourages learning and is based on early learning culture, ideas, abilities, interests, and strengths.

Wellness & Mindful Activities to Encourage Your Child’s Wellbeing 

At Holmesville, we strive to nurture your little one’s well-being to ensure they’re resilient, mindful little people. Over the past two years, their social ability has been diminished due to recent lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. We saw this as a shame and a real detriment to your child’s learning abilities and overall social well-being. So we took action. 

We have now implemented yoga and mental well-being sessions where we teach your child mindfulness and help them become more social and less anxious in the process. We always create an inclusive environment where each child can be themselves, and with these mindful sessions, we emphasise the importance of social awareness, helping them grow!

Our Team 

“When you entrust your child’s care to someone else, we understand you need peace of mind knowing the daycare provider has your child’s best interests at heart. Rest assured, all of our careers are hand-selected through a rigorous recruitment process, and we are qualified educators motivated to enrich your child’s development.

As parents, you will be concerned about the health conditions of your little ones while they are with us. Don’t worry! All our staff have mandatory up-to-date first aid certificates and also undergo special training to deal with anaphylaxis and asthma. Get to know our team of dedicated teachers, and you’ll soon become to regard them as friends, and they will welcome you like family.”
