Research shows that play is essential for children’s learning and development, supporting brain growth, language, social skills and problem solving. Through play, children make sense of the world, build relationships, and develop confidence and creativity. At Funhouse, we value play as the foundation for learning supporting children to develop holistically and grow as confident and competent learners.
Our philosophy is inspired by the vision of our founder Judy Burgess for Funhouse to be “Your child’s home away from home”. This vision continues to guide everything we do at Funhouse. Relationships are the heart of our practice. We are passionate about supporting children to learn, grow, and flourish in a warm welcoming and nurturing environment where they feel safe, valued and a sense of belonging from the moment they walk through our doors.
We understand the importance of finding the right education and care for your child. Funhouse has an open-door policy, we welcome you to call, email or stop in and see us! We would love to show you and your family around our centre and discuss how we can meet your needs and aspirations for your child’s learning and development. Come and explore our space, meet our teaching team, and experience our high-quality learning environment firsthand.
