About St Nicholas Early Education Chisholm

St Nicholas Early Education Chisholm is a 134-place early education and care centre co-located with St Aloysius Primary School inside the thriving Waterford County Estate 

After opening in 2018, our Chisholm centre was met with incredible demand from local families. In response to this demand, St Nicholas extended Chisholm in 2021, adding several additional state-of-the-art learning environments which saw the centre’s licensed places nearly double from 77 to 134. 

Some of St Nicholas Early Education Chisholm’s standout features include its amazing outdoor learning environments which provide an array of challenging and diverse play opportunities for young children; and co-location with St Aloysius Primary School, offering a convenient one-stop drop-off and pick-up for parents and carers with children attending both places while also supporting St Nicholas’ coveted Transition to School program for preschool children.

One of Sarah’s special memories involves taking 20 toddlers on an exciting excursion to Oakvale Farm.
