Welcome to Sparrow Early Learning and Childcare Sippy Downs
Our vision is to create a welcoming place of wonder, where children feel inspired to play, explore and connect. Families and community are at the heart of our philosophy, and we value the natural environment that surrounds us. Through sustainable practices like recycling stations for reusable resources like cardboard, pinecones, milk bottle lids and real crockery, parents and children can help us care and take responsibility for our world together.
Guided by passionate educators, we celebrate each child’s individuality, creativity and potential, fostering confident learners who grow with curiosity, kindness and a sense of belonging. We’d love to welcome your family for a tour of our Sippy Downs early learning centre and share how we can be part of your child’s journey.

I have always had a passion for early childhood education. I hold my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and have worked in the industry for over 10 years.
I strongly believe in fostering positive relationships; within our team, with families and with the wider community.
