Every early learning centre has a story. Ours began with Meg Whitehead, a passionate educator and parent who wanted to create more than just your regular childcare in Perth. Meg imagined a space where children feel seen, families feel supported and educators are connected to meaningful values that guide their work each day.
At Daisy’s Early Learning and Care, everything we do reflects that vision. Our centre is warm, welcoming and filled with a sense of purpose. It feels like an extension of home, where love, laughter, curiosity and growth are part of every day.
Every early learning centre has a story. Ours began with Meg Whitehead, a passionate educator and parent who wanted to create more than just your regular Perth childcare. Meg imagined a space where children feel heard, families feel supported, educators are nurtured through relationships and connected to meaningful values that guide their work each day.
At Daisy’s Early Learning and Care, everything we do reflects that vision. Our centre is warm, welcoming and filled with a sense of purpose. It feels like an extension of home, where love, laughter, curiosity and growth are part of every moment.
With 25 years of experience in early childhood education and a background in inquiry based learning as a qualified IBO and Early Years Teacher, Meg saw the need for something different. A place where learning wasn’t rushed or rigid. A place where families and educators work in harmony and where children are encouraged to develop agency, feel emotionally safe, take risks, solve problems and recover from setbacks. A learning space where children can develop resilience through relationships and love.
At Daisy’s, everything is grounded in four values that reflect our founder’s vision — Listen, Love, Laugh and Learn. These aren’t just words on a wall. They shape every part of our day, from how we greet families to how we support each child’s development.
We listen to each child and their families, making sure they feel heard and understood. We lead with love, creating a space that’s warm, safe and genuinely nurturing. We laugh often, because joy and play are essential parts of learning. And we support every child to learn with confidence, curiosity and a sense of independence.
These values guide every decision we make. You can feel them in the way our educators interact, in the design of our spaces and in the relationships, we build with families.
At Daisy’s, we believe every child brings their own way of seeing the world to their education. That perspective shapes how they learn, how they explore and how we support them. Our educational approach is inspired by the Pedagogy of Listening approach families are seeking, alongside influences from Montessori and inquiry-based learning. These methods are grounded in the belief that children are capable, curious and ready to lead their own learning journey.
Our environments are open-ended and designed to encourage choice, independence and exploration. Children are given the time and space to try things for themselves and figure out how they learn best. Rather than rushing towards outcomes, we focus on building confidence, curiosity and a genuine love for learning. Daisy’s is proud to offer a childcare and early learning experience that reflects these values in every part of the day.
“My goal has been to create a centre that reflects what I value most: strong relationships, meaningful learning and genuine care. As Southern River and nearby suburbs like Harrisdale and Piara Waters continue to grow, I saw a clear need for quality early learning that is accessible and community-focused. Daisy’s was created to meet that need by offering affordable, well-located childcare that supports each child’s development while giving families peace of mind their child will be loved, respected and develop a love of learning.”
