About St Nicholas Early Education Gillieston Heights
St Nicholas Early Education Gillieston Heights is a 144-place early education and care centre located inside the family-focused Wallis Creek Estate, complete with magnificent outdoor play environments and a range of unique features that families will love.
Since first opening its doors in 2020, our Gillieston Heights has become a staple in the lives of local families, offering the best environments, educators and learning experiences to give children the best start in life while supporting working parents and carers.
Gillieston Heights’ outdoor environment features four designated play spaces complete with dry river beds, sandpits, mud kitchens, bike pathways, garden beds, cubby houses, tepees and a basket swing. The centre also features a ‘bush kinder’ environment which allows for free play in a natural setting designed to promote exploration and discovery, complete with a mud pit and duck enclosure.
