Nature, every day
Is nature part of every day? Yes, it is.
At Everwood, nature is part of every day: the natural world is woven into everything we do, from the garden beds to the sandpit.
The vegetable garden
Peas grow in the vegetable garden, and little hands help pick them.
The worm farm
Children get a close look at the worms in our worm farm.
Sandpit, bridge and cubbies
The yard has shade sails, a sandpit, a timber bridge, cubby houses and a play fort for climbing and imagining.
Four rooms
Which room suits your child’s age?
Everwood has four rooms for children from 6 weeks to 5 years. Not sure which fits? Ask on your tour and we will match your child’s age and stage.
Seedlings, 0 to 2 years
Sensory play, baby-sign and secure attachments for babies from 6 weeks. See the Seedlings room for babies.
Saplings, 2 to 3 years
Loose-parts play, early STEM provocations and warm guidance, as curiosity becomes conversation. See the Saplings room for toddlers.
Tall Trees, 3 to 4 years
Project-based inquiry, rich storytelling and outdoor adventures that build early literacy and numeracy. See the Tall Trees preschool room.
Gumnuts, 4 to 5 years
Our kindy room, with inquiry maths, phonics-rich storytelling, nature science and collaborative projects. See the Gumnuts kindy room.
Planning ahead
When does kindy start in WA?
In Western Australia, children who will be 4 by 30 June can start kindergarten that year, at a school, a community kindergarten or some childcare services. Compulsory schooling starts in pre-primary, for children who turn 5 by 30 June (Department of Education).
Gumnuts, our kindy room for 4 to 5 year olds, is about getting ready for that step. Children pitch ideas, lead teams and share their learning, building the confidence, curiosity and resilience that help at school.
To find the public school for your Haynes address, check its local intake area on the WA Government’s Find a public school page.

Tours take about 30 minutes and cover the rooms and the outdoor spaces, so bring your questions.

How does the 3 Day Guarantee work?
The 3 Day Guarantee sets a floor of 72 subsidised hours a fortnight per child for every family eligible for the Child Care Subsidy, and it has applied since 5 January 2026. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children get 100 hours, and so do children whose parents each do more than 48 hours of recognised participation a fortnight (Services Australia).
