-Why choose Freedom French Family Day Care?
Nathalie is an experienced child educator who has worked at schools and nurseries across Australia. During that time, both of children and her have being restricted to a nursery setting where the kids spent limited time outdoors so Nathalie decided to setup her own child-led day-care centre.

Child Led - Nathalie loves pottery, cooking, crafts and adventures. Rather than deciding in advance which activities to run, Freedom French Family Day Care centres around the child. If the children feel like cooking, they’ll spend time baking cookies or muffins. If they would prefer to do arts and crafts, an impromptu pottery or painting session will be arranged. Child led play encourages creativity, self-expression and proactively involves children in their learning journey.

Nature Play - One of the biggest advantages of Freedom French Family Day Care is its proximity to Maroubra Beach. The centre has a strong foundation in nature play and thus maximises the time that the children spend outside. Most days will involve a visit to the park and the beach where children will be encouraged to connect and enjoy their physical environment. 

Bilingual environment - Freedom is Australian and French speaking nursery..The centre offer a bilingual option for kids who will likely attend LCS in later years.

Nathalie  Certificate 3 Child Care Educator The idea of Freedom center emerged in 2022 when I was working in different Day care in Sydney and noticed that the children wasn’t in the center of the educational program but have to fit in it.  It became obvious that children should be free to choose their activities by themself and being listen by the educator about what they feel instead of be directed by them one activity to an other.  In 2023, I was hosting the bread baking and pottery classes at the French school of Maroubra as AES teacher that inspired me to propose original and fun activities in my centre. I also came from a big country side family with many relatives who are farmers. That teach me the basics of growing my own foods, cook it, put in conserve and storage. It is what I want to offer in this centre, learn to grow vegetables in a share garden in Maroubra, show to the kids how to cook them and taste the incredible food that we made together. Before became a childcare educator, I used to be a firefighter in France so I know all the emergencies procedures and the security of children is my priority. Wwcc  CPR First aid Police check clear
Spirit Of The Centre
Inspired by Montessori, Freedom is a centre where your children will understand how to become independent and self confident by immersive learning and connecting to his environment. For Freedom this involves time for outdoor activities, games, learning and well-being. Freedom provides a wide range of activities to awaken children to music, nature, art, animals, new languages and themselves. Intellectual development is taken into account as well as social, physical and emotional development. Freedom is a place of well-being where plants, animals and beings in the moment, live in harmony. Freedom through its concept of freedom will not share any personal point of view on religions, politics or supporting a sport team considering what is important are our similarities, not our differences.
