About the centre

Early Learning in the Heart of Sydney

Welcome to Shared Beginnings Pyrmont, a vibrant early learning centre located in one of Sydney’s most exciting inner-city communities. Positioned close to Darling Harbour, the Sydney CBD, waterfront parks, public transport, cultural attractions and family-friendly city spaces, our Pyrmont centre offers children a unique opportunity to learn, play and grow in a setting that connects the energy of the city with the warmth of a nurturing early childhood environment.

At Shared Beginnings Pyrmont, children are surrounded by thoughtfully designed learning spaces, multiple outdoor environments and engaging indoor classrooms that encourage curiosity, confidence and creativity every day.


Exciting Learning Environments

Shared Beginnings Pyrmont has been designed to feel inspiring from the moment children walk through the door. Our rooms are calm, inviting and purposeful, with learning areas that support imaginative play, early literacy, creative arts, construction, sensory exploration, science, movement and social connection.

Children are encouraged to make choices, follow their interests and engage in experiences that challenge their thinking in meaningful ways.

Multiple Outdoor Learning Spaces

Even in the heart of the city, outdoor play is a central part of our program. Our multiple outdoor learning spaces provide children with room to move, explore, investigate and connect with nature where children can play outdoors all day, no matter what the weather is like.

These environments support climbing, balancing, digging, building, role play, quiet reflection and group games. They give children the chance to develop physical confidence, problem-solving skills and a love of outdoor learning.


The Shared Foundations Approach

Our curriculum is guided by the Shared Foundations Approach, our unique pedagogy framework that supports children to build strong foundations for lifelong learning.

Through this approach, we focus on:

Child-centred, play-based learning
Strong relationships and emotional security
Belonging, identity and connection
Creativity, curiosity and confidence
Communication, independence and social skills
Meaningful links between home, centre and community

At Shared Beginnings Pyrmont, this means children are not rushed through learning. They are supported to explore deeply, ask questions, revisit ideas and build knowledge through rich, hands-on experiences.

Learning Connected to the Local Community

Being located in Pyrmont allows us to bring the local community into children’s learning in meaningful ways. Children may explore ideas connected to the harbour, transport, city buildings, markets, parks, food, families, culture and community life.

Our educators use the children’s surroundings as a source of inspiration, helping them understand that learning does not only happen inside a classroom. It happens through observation, conversation, movement, discovery and connection.
