Meerilinga Hilton

What’s brown, sticky and eats eucalyptus leaves?

One of Meerilinga Hilton’s famous stick insects, of course! Taking care of these small creatures teaches our children responsibility for life and our natural environment, while providing exciting moments as they climb across our children’s hands – sometimes even hanging upside down!

Each term, Educator Annemarie takes our Hilton class through the life cycle of insects and uses our eclectic range of stick insects as a practical way to demonstrate this part of our curriculum.

We have places available in our Hilton class for those looking for a small, trusted not-for-profit to care and educate their children. Contact us for a tour!

Will we see you on Monday? We're buying!

We're teaming up with everyone's favourite local coffee spot Mumma Bee Cafe for weekly play sessions. Have a coffee on us while your child is enjoying nature play and connection under the care of our wonderful Educator Annemarie.

Every Monday throughout June, join us at 10.30am.

We’re making it easier to start learning in Hilton.

All good enrolment journeys begin with a tour of our Centre, so that you can explore our natural play environments and get to know the people who will be looking after your child each day.

When you’re ready to enrol, we’ll guide you through the process and organise your child’s first session. Whether you decide on a half-day or a full-day, you’re welcome to join your child and have a play as we ease them into the routine of a Meerilinga Early Learning Program.

Begin your journey by contacting us now.

The women in our lives are amazing! Whether you are a guardian, a mum, an aunty or a grandmother, we hope that you have had the opportunity to enjoy this Mother’s Day. Thank you for the love and care that you provide the children in our community.⁠
⁠
We also acknowledge that this day can be difficult for many: those grieving the loss of a mother, those longing to become mothers or who have lost children, those who have complex relationships with their mothers. Whether today brings joy, sadness, or a mix of both, you are not alone.

If you are a mother or someone in need of support and community, Meerilinga may be able to help. Contact us to discover a range of parenting programs, community services, playgroups and Early Learning locations.⁠
