Story House Early Learning Southport

At Story House Early Learning Southport, we value the relationship between us, the educators, and you, the family. Our team strives to create a close community in our service, and it’s that community that excites and inspires us to come to work each day.

Our children enjoy a variety of extracurricular experiences throughout the week to support different elements of their development. From physical activities like swimming and daily yoga and the Future Champs Health & Fitness program to their weekly music lessons, art studio, and science lab. Children can get creative in the Master Chef Kitchen or chill out in our peaceful Zen garden.

Best kindy ever!!

They take such great care of our boy, they are like a second family to us! The facilities are large, clean, filled with fresh air and packed to the rafters with things to entertain and teach the kids. My son loves his care giver’s in the nursery and is well fed with healthy food each day too. The place just has a great feel about it, with birds and fish at the entrance, and even some friendly chickens out the back! Definitely recommend!!

My almost 4 year old started here when he was exactly 6 weeks as I had to get back to work and from that day the team here made the transition an easy one. The educators have a positive outlook and it always seems like a happy environment whichever day or time I go for drop off or pick up. The team work with the swim school next door and do supervised collection for swimming lessons which is a god send for our busy work schedule. All the educators know my son whichever room they are from and my son absolutely adores them. I would highly recommend.

Oh my goodness! What an amazing child care centre! Helen & Hannah and team – you all go above and beyond and I am eternally grateful! Such a vibrant, exciting place to learn with a team of educators who seem to all really enjoy working with each other to start with (which is hard to find these days, right?), genuinely LOVE the children and LOVE their job. You guys rock! Keep being awesome!

Thank you to Helen and her team for the last 1-2 years, it has been so lovely to watch our son grow in confidence over his time with you all.

We have been so lucky to have such a wonderful experience with all of our Son’s educators. We have only ever been met with smiles and open arms. Drop offs can be hard at times but someone was always ready with open arms to give our Son a reassuring hug.

Everyone’s passion and love for all the kids shines through!! We can only hope he finds a bond at his new centre like he has with Miss Mandy, Miss Jess, Miss Kellie and Miss Sjirlie – he has been so lucky!!

My son has been attending Story House Southport for 6 months now and he absolutely loves it! The Educators are all so caring and were very supportive of him and his needs while settling in to his new Kindy. Everyone is always so happy and welcoming. It’s so nice to walk in and be greeted with a smile everyday. Can not thank everyone enough for their love and care of our little boy. It’s also so great that he can do swimming lessons with his friends from Kindy! And we love the daily photos and updates we receive. Thank you

Helen is our Southport Service Manager. Working in childcare for more than 30 years, Helen is so enthusiastic about working health and wellbeing into early childhood learning. She’s environmentally driven and loves creating open-ended scenarios for children to explore while exercising independence. Local to the Southport community, Helen is proud to share this service with our neighbourhood and the wider community. Our children love getting to visit the beach on excursion days, learn and explore the community and its rich history, and meet the local wildlife.

Helen holds a certificate in sports therapy, so she often shares her yoga experience with the children. With a focus on confidence-building, Helen helps capture the children’s imaginations and translates this into body movement and relaxation. She’s also inspired by our team of educators at Southport. The team is enthusiastic and passionate about the children we care for. We’re always creating an exciting and fun environment for the children so they can take an active interest in their learning.

At Story House Early Learning Southport, we believe that happy educators create happy children, which leads to happy families and homes. As for Helen’s leadership style? She’s fair and understanding. Helen believes that we’re a team, so she’s always happy to jump in and help where she’s needed, whether it’s stepping back to lead or engaging with the children on the ground. Helen is full of happiness and positivity and she injects that enthusiasm into our entire team.
