A new centre for Pakenham
Built for the families moving in and growing up here
Every room is designed as a “third teacher”, with natural materials, real tools and space to explore. Our educators follow what children are curious about, then help them take the idea further.
Our rooms
Four rooms, and each move happens when your child is ready
Each room is set up for its age group, and children move on when they show clear signs they're ready, not on a birthday.
Babies: Discovery
A calm nursery where feeds, nappy changes and sleep follow your baby's own rhythm.
See the baby roomToddlers: Pioneers
First friendships, first words for big feelings, and lots of doing it themselves.
See the toddler room
Three-year-olds: Voyagers
Longer projects, bigger questions, and calming strategies they can use on their own.

Places vary by room and day. Call us or book a tour and we'll tell you what's available.
Outdoors
A garden made for play and discovery
The garden is a favourite part of the day. Children dig, climb, build and explore, and the ideas they start outside often carry straight back inside.
Outside, they test their balance, watch how puddles change and find out what's living in the garden. Educators are right there with them, helping with gear and joining in the discovery.
Gumboots and wet-weather gear in the bag means they can get straight out to play.
Support at Lumora
Extra support, inside the room
Our Inclusion Specialist works alongside room educators every day, supporting any child who needs it, with or without a diagnosis. Children get help with communicating, calming down and making friends without ever leaving their group.
Our allied health partners, including an occupational therapist, speech pathologist and psychologist, visit the centre regularly, so support happens where your child already feels at home.
Every child deserves to sit in the circle.
Kinder
Getting ready for Prep, at your child's pace
Our Wanderers room runs a kinder program led by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher. Children take on longer projects, practise calming themselves, and build the friendships and focus that help them settle into school.
Because kinder is part of our long day care, your child can stay with familiar educators and friends all day, with no extra drop-offs.
