Our skilled chefs Jaskaran & Manpreet lead interactive cooking classes tailored to each age group, encouraging children to discover new flavours and learn new skills. Children enjoy a variety of foods while gaining confidence in the kitchen.

As part of our commitment to fostering healthy habits and a love for fresh food, all Story House services have introduced the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program (SAKGP). This hands-on initiative connects children with growing, harvesting, preparing and sharing fresh, seasonal food. By getting involved in every step of the process, from garden to plate, children learn valuable life skills, develop respect for the environment, and build a deeper appreciation for nutritious food in a fun, practical way.

Would recommended! We have been apart of Story House for 5 years now and so happy to be apart of this Early learning centre.

My second child is now attending Kinder at Story house ,the staff and management have been great over the years, and we are thankful
Kasey Larche
We’ve been a family at Story House for nearly 6 years and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Staff are friendly and approachable and both our children have developed favourites over the years. Both our children have allergies, which they have accommodated and ensured their well-being and safety with all their meals and snacks. Highly recommended a tour and enrolment if they have any availability!
