“In our approach, we believe that a learning environment for children should be filled with wonder and exploration.”

 – Loris Malaguzzi

At St Nicks, we’re proud to bring together two boutique early learning campuses in the beautiful suburb of Yarralumla.

For over 30 years, Hellenica has immersed children aged 6 months to 5 years in Greek language and culture—myth, music, and cultural events - through a Reggio Emilia approach that honours each child’s voice and heritage.

This November 2025, we’re excited to open our new Botanica campus 

In response to our vibrant community’s strong waitlist and the growing need for quality care in Yarralumla and surrounds. Botanica will welcome up to 92 children (6 months to 5 years) across six thoughtfully designed spaces, where daily connections to the garden, lake and canal inspire wonder, resilience and a deep sense of belonging.

Together, Hellenica and Botanica offer nurturing, play‑based journeys

Whether delving into Greek traditions or exploring bush kindy adventures—that spark curiosity, foster community partnerships and lay a foundation for lifelong learning in one of Canberra’s most picturesque neighbourhoods.
