Sprout Early Learning Centre is owned and operated by Simone and David Brand, longtime Central Coast locals. David brings strong business expertise, while Simone leads with over 12 years in early childhood education. She holds a Bachelor of Education (Birth–Year 2), has taught at local schools, completed the Semann & Slattery iLEAD management program, and led centres to “Exceeding” ratings under the National Quality Framework. Simone’s background in performing arts and passion for science, literacy, and maths shape a creative, inclusive learning environment.

Learn. Play. Thrive.
Our unique curriculum blends holistic, open-ended play with intentional teaching, guided by ACECQA standards. Using the STREAM approach (Science, Technology, Reading & Writing, Engineering, Art, and Math), we provide rich, engaging experiences that foster language, problem-solving, and creativity. We blend multiple teaching methods to create inclusive learning spaces and introduce children to global languages and cultures during their critical early years. Artistic play and a safe, supportive environment help children build confidence and explore their identities.

Thrive & Fresh Nutrition
We focus on strong relationships, with educators supporting children consistently throughout their journey. Wellbeing is promoted through yoga, meditation, nature walks, and caring for animals, fostering empathy and sustainability. Our community involvement includes local partnerships and family events. Our Fresh food philosophy, designed by a local nutritionist and prepared daily by an in-house chef, emphasizes seasonal, whole foods. Children participate in gardening and learn about healthy eating, with all meals meeting NSW Health standards. At Sprout, children learn, play, thrive, and belong.
