Facilities
6 Weeks - 3 Years
Treetops Stepney Banksia House opened in September 2007. At the purpose built centre we offer care for children from 6 weeks to 3 years in an environment that caters to the developmental needs of babies and toddlers. As a fully serviced centre you supply the child and we supply most other things – meals and snacks, nappies, sunscreen.
The centre has a four rooms, children do not move from one room to the next according to age but rather when they are ready. Staff evaluate a child’s overall development and learning, through written observation, before discussing the next move with the parents.
Our team values providing our children with support through their developmental milestones. We offer a warm and inviting atmosphere to allow the children and their families to feel a sense of security and belonging in our centre. Our educators guide the children’s learning abilities through supporting their individual needs and interests.
Parents are always welcome to join us and share their child’s day. As a parent you are the best resource and staff welcome your input into your child’s day and the centre’s activities. We encourage parents to share their special talents with us.

Giorgina
Hello, I’m Giorgina, and I’m thrilled to be your Centre Director, where I can guide the growth and development of both children and our dedicated team. My belief in education and child development aligns deeply with the philosophy that children are capable and competent citizens of the now.
This holistic approach speaks to me profoundly; through this lens, I connect wholeheartedly with Reggio Emilia practice and principles. I see myself as not just a leader and educator but also a co-learner and researcher, where the rich connections I build fuel my passion for fostering curiosity, creativity, growth, and community.
Leadership is of utmost importance to me, as I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where each individual’s strengths are valued, and together, we work towards achieving excellence by adhering to the highest standards of quality childcare, education and practice.
I am incredibly passionate about the Early Years and drawn to the three to six years space. In these learning environments, I find great joy in guiding children and educators throughout their journey. I am particularly enthusiastic about creating environments that are inviting and inspire discovery. You’ll often find me gathering new resources for our learning spaces, whether I’m concocting various creations over the weekend or scouring Op Shops for treasures that I know will spark imagination and curiosity.
On a more personal note, I cherish spending time with my family, especially in the kitchen, where we love to cook together. I enjoy exploring the Adelaide Hills and trying out new places to eat. I believe in the importance of balance and enjoy creating memories with those closest to me.
As I continue to lead and grow alongside this amazing community, I am committed to fostering a space where both children and educators can thrive, learn, and be inspired.
