Celebrating 50 years in Castle Hill

Where little discoverers feel right at home

A warm, family-owned preschool for children aged 2 to 5 – small enough to know every child by name, and curious enough to follow where their questions lead.

What Makes Us Different

The Discovery House Difference

Our Experience

We have been educating Castle Hill children since 1976 – almost fifty years of knowing exactly what helps a little one feel settled, curious and ready for school.

Our Team

Qualified early childhood educators who are mothers themselves. Because our team is permanent, your child sees the same familiar faces every single day.

Our Environment

An abundance of natural space – gardens, trees and nature play – with homely classrooms that feel far more like a home than a centre.

Our Education

A play-based curriculum guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, growing confidence, friendships and genuine school readiness.
