Our story
Built for the mother and her child
The Cradle is a childcare and education service that prepares children for the future of the 21st century and beyond. Since 2014 we have worked with children on the philosophy of early childhood brain stimulation, fostering brain development for critical thinking, problem solving and innovation.
Our unique curriculum brings multiple disciplines together at once and creates experiences where children explore, question, research, discover and build. It is care that grows young minds, given by competent and passionate facilitators.

Our approach
A play based brain stimulation curriculum
Our centres run on a play based child brain stimulation curriculum that nurtures four areas of a child's development.
Cognitive
Thinking, problem solving, language and early numbers through guided play.
Physical
Movement, motor skills and active play that build strong, healthy bodies.
Spiritual
Gentle values, wonder and a sense of belonging woven through the day.
Character
Kindness, confidence and social skills, learning to play and share well.
From our founder
For the mother and her child. We built The Cradle so that no parent has to choose between the work they love and the child they love.
