We believe that education is a natural outcome of creativity. We strive to support families and recognise that our dedicated and experienced Educators are privileged to be a positive and formative part of your child’s life. 

At Aeon Academy your kids come first. Outside school hour education and care is our specialisation and our sole focus. Our engaged and compassionate leadership team works on site with their fingers on the pulse every day ensuring your child’s safety and well-being is the highest priority.
