About Treetop

As a family-owned business, we distinguish ourselves by fostering a close-knit environment that goes beyond traditional corporate structures. Unlike other childcare organisations, our approach involves minimal interference from head office paperwork, ensuring direct and meaningful connections with the owners. Embracing a back-to-basics philosophy, we prioritise authentic relationships and rekindle the passion within our educators. Our commitment to maintaining robust professional standards including professional development opportunities  ensures a high-quality learning experience for children while creating a supportive atmosphere for our dedicated educators. While our main inspiration is drawn from the Reggio Emilia approach, we also embrace other philosophies to foster each child's unique learning journey and facilitate the continuous growth and development of our educators. Joining us means becoming part of our extended family, where growth opportunities are part of the journey as we grow, allowing you to flourish both personally and professionally. Be part of an organisation that values genuine connections, passionate education and where the essence of authentic relationships and support is redefined. 

At Treetop, we are committed in providing a secure and inclusive environment that promotes the safety, well-being, participation, and empowerment of every child. We are dedicated to cultivating cultural safety and awareness, ensuring the inclusion of children with disabilities and those from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We have a zero tolerance for child abuse, and a duty of care to prevent and minimize risks in both physical and online environments.  Through these principles, we strive to create a nurturing space where every child can feel protected, included and reach their potential.
