More than Childcare
Learn & Laugh Hornsby Heights is our very first original early learning centre, proudly serving local families since 2007. As a family-run service with deep roots in the local community, we’ve had the privilege of supporting generations of families. In fact, several of our team members have chosen Learn & Laugh for their own children—a reflection of the confidence our educators have in the care and education we provide.
Purpose-built for early childhood education and care, our boutique centre cares for just 38 children, allowing our educators to build meaningful relationships with every child and family. Located on quiet Somerville Road in the heart of Hornsby Heights, our bright learning environments are filled with natural light and enjoy a peaceful leafy outlook, creating calm spaces where children can explore, discover and grow with confidence.
Our outdoor learning environments have been thoughtfully designed to support each stage of development. Babies and toddlers enjoy their own dedicated outdoor space, while our junior and senior children have a separate area that encourages active play, exploration, creativity and social learning. Set back from the street, our outdoor environments provide a peaceful and secure place for children to connect with nature.
All nutritious meals are freshly prepared on site each day by our dedicated cook, and families are not charged for public holidays. Our purpose-built centre also includes dedicated staff facilities that support collaboration, professional development and the delivery of high-quality education and care.
Conveniently Located in Hornsby Heights
Learn & Laugh Hornsby Heights is located at 335 Somerville Road, Hornsby Heights, making it a convenient choice for families living in Hornsby Heights and surrounding suburbs. Many of our families enjoy walking to the centre, while those travelling by car can take advantage of five dedicated visitor parking spaces, with additional on-street parking available nearby.
The centre is also easily accessible by public transport via the 596 bus service from Hornsby Station and is approximately a 10-minute drive from both Hornsby and Asquith Stations, making daily drop-offs and pick-ups simple and convenient.
We acknowledge the Dharug people who are the traditional custodians of this land and pay respect to their elders past, present and future, for they hold the Indigenous memories of culture and country for all Australian people.
Words from our lovely families
Alison Butt
Our kids love going and ask when their next daycare day is. The staff are lovely and genuinely care for all the kids who attend. A great centre!
Ayue Yue
Definitely a lovely place to send your little one to! Safe, clean, and lots of activities, and most importantly, the staffs there are caring and considerate. My daughter has been there for 2 years from 1 year old. She absolutely loves it there.
Greg Dawes
The staff really care about our kids and engage them every day in meaningful activities. Behind the scenes they have robust risk management policies which ensure the safety and well being of our kids too, which I really appreciate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to local Hornsby families looking for quality child care.
Stafford Williams
Our kids love their kindy days. And we know they are in good hands there.
Harini S
Our son has been at this centre for nearly 3 years now and has loved it so much so that we are also sending our second child there next year. We have been really happy with the quality of care provided. The educators have ensured they work with us to best support my son and have always been approachable and cooperative.
Rachael M
My family have loved our experience with Learn and Laugh. The Educators are fantastic and have really supported our son in his transitions through the centre. As a smaller centre, we have felt really involved in the educations of our son and we have felt listened to and kept informed at all times. We highly recommend the centre and the teachers at Learn and Laugh Hornsby.
The director - Samantha Cairns
I have been part of the Learn & Laugh family since 2012, beginning my career at Learn & Laugh Hornsby. There I worked as the room leader in their 3-5 year old room, while progressing in my career, gaining responsibilities of Educational Leader and Second in Charge. In 2016 I moved to the Drummoyne Centre, becoming the Director, allowing me the opportunity to consolidate my learning and experience even more. Once returning from maternity leave in 2020 I had the opportunity of returning back to our Hornsby Centre.
Being inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to learning has helped me to view children as strong and capable learners with enormous potential and curiosity. I aim to offer children an environment where they are inspired to learn and explore, while feeling safe and secure.
In my role, I strive to work in collaboration with children, engaging in a hands-on and co-constructionist relationships. This enables me to work alongside children, helping them to extend their own interests through exploration, discovery and project-based learning.
