Piccolini’s Place Churchill

Welcome to Piccolini’s Place Churchill, a brand-new, purpose-built early learning centre in Churchill designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and connection. Our Reggio Emilia–inspired spaces have been thoughtfully created to feel like a home away from home, where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore the world around them.

We’re proud to offer high-quality long day care and kindergarten for children aged 6 weeks to school age, with dedicated studios tailored to each stage of early development.

Our Studios

Nursery

Our Nursery Studio is a calm, nurturing space where babies can explore safely and develop secure attachments with their educators. Through gentle routines, sensory play, and warm interactions, we support each child’s emotional wellbeing and early development.

Pre-Kindy

In our Pre-Kindy Studio, children are supported to ask questions, solve problems, and explore their interests in meaningful ways. Through group projects, storytelling, and hands-on experiences, learning becomes a joyful journey of discovery.

Toddler

Our Toddler Studio encourages curiosity and independence. With open-ended materials, creative play, and opportunities for movement, children begin to express their ideas, build friendships, and develop confidence in their growing abilities.

Kindy

Our Kindy Studio helps prepare children for a smooth transition to school. We focus on building social skills, resilience, and a love for learning through play-based, child-led experiences that foster independence and curiosity.

Our Programs

Creative Arts & Expression

At Piccolini’s Place, little hands become big creators! Children dive into painting, clay modeling, sculpture, lights and shadows, bringing their ideas to life in colourful, imaginative ways. Every brushstroke and every clay creation is a chance to explore feelings, tell stories, and celebrate their unique voice.

Nature & Discovery

The world is a playground for curious minds! From digging in our gardens and exploring water play to observing plants and insects, children develop a deep connection with nature. Every leaf, puddle, and seed becomes an opportunity to investigate, problem-solve, and marvel at the wonders around them.

Science, Movement & Exploration

Exploration is our favourite adventure! Children experiment, build, and discover through hands-on science projects, collaborative investigations, and imaginative play.
