Treehouse Early Learning Centres invites you to our educational environment.
The learning experience at Treehouse should consist of protective, nurturing grounds where children can explore and develop themselves. The learning facilities at our centres create high-quality learning environments for children to build their uniqueness, imagination, and social abilities through positive interactions.
Introduction
Treehouse Early Learning—Hillcrest has two large, resourced, secured, and shaded playgrounds, including three large sandpits and many other outdoor toys. The centre’s open play design allows the children to choose between indoor and outdoor play quickly, helping them develop decision-making skills.
Inside, we have six large, colourful, fully air-conditioned rooms that cater for ages 6 weeks to school age. The staff of Hillcrest ensure your child’s safety and developmental needs are being met at all times, and our ratios are never below standards. We invite families to participate in their children’s development by having an “open door policy”; however, as this is not possible for some families, rest assured that parents/guardians are continually informed of their children’s progress.
Our staff consists of trained and qualified individuals whose qualifications are recognised by the Department of Education and Children’s Services. We invite staff to continue to update their qualifications through on-site training, which allows them to keep up-to-date with the latest childcare requirements. Our staff take pride in enthusiastically and dedicatedly caring for your child.
Zarna Shah: Centre Director

I have been part of the Treehouse Early Learning Centres since 2012, and during this rewarding journey, I have had the opportunity to grow through various roles, including Educator, Team Leader, Assistant Director, and now Centre Director. With over a decade of experience in early childhood education, I have cultivated a deep passion for nurturing young minds and creating environments where children thrive.
From my early days as an Educator, I have always had a natural flair for this profession, striving to make a difference in the lives of children. My goal is to provide every child with a warm, safe, and enriching environment where they feel loved and supported. At Treehouse, I am committed to upholding our high standards of care and education while supporting families on their early learning journey.
I believe in fostering strong, collaborative relationships with parents and staff, ensuring that we offer the best possible start for every child in our care. It is my privilege to lead a team of passionate educators who share the same vision for excellence, and together, we work towards building a brighter future for the children and families we serve.

Treehouse: A Nurturing Haven
The Treehouse learning space renders a shelter that welcomes all children with loving acceptance. The educators at our campus combine teaching with inspiring capabilities to motivate their students. Single-minded care for each child happens in an exploratory educational space that welcomes personal growth.
Blending Modern & Traditional Learning
The organisation combines modern educational resources with established childcare methods. Our institution’s curriculum carefully combines elements that develop intellectual capabilities and our student’s emotional and physical attributes. We design activities alongside unstructured play sessions to create educational experiences that allow children to learn at their rates and with student-led passions.
Interactive Learning & Safe Exploration
The educational programs draw students through multifaceted learning activities, which start with storytelling interactions and progress to hands-on, creative projects to create learning interest.The facilities of our centres combine protective features with stimulating environments for children to explore securely.
The development process at our centre begins by teaching fundamental life capabilities, which incorporate communication, collaboration, and problem-solving practices.

When your child joins our system, we will create an all-inclusive profile. This profile contains essential data in a single point of truth that provides consistent care throughout the child’s stay.
The payment system we have created focuses on providing you with simple payment options. The fee payment system deducts funds from your selected banking account every second Monday of the month without requiring manual processing.
Your child’s tuition includes every day of attendance, public holidays, and sessions, and payments continue regardless of sickness absences. Our fee structure presents all expenses, which prevents hidden costs from occurring.
You should select the payment option that best matches your requirements. You can choose between Direct Debit for easy payments or Credit Card payment, though you will encounter a surcharge when using this method.
