Take A Sneak Peek

Our two-storey centre features bright indoor learning spaces, a spacious shaded outdoor area and experienced educators who support every child to learn, play and grow. Our nurturing environment not only supports their academic growth but also nurtures their creativity, curiosity, and sense of wonder, empowering them to become confident and independent learners.

Our Parents Say

This is a place where your kids actually run into daycare (and don't bother looking back!) - if you pick them up early, you're in trouble cause they don't want to miss out on any activities!! The centre is small, nurturing and we found it to place great importance on the learning and development of each child. Communication was great, and we felt very comfortable having our children cared for here 5-days a week, both from age of 9mo until heading off to school. What a gem, and very rare to find! Hope you get a spot.

Our Founder

Ms Vicki is the proud founder and heart of Little Lion Surry Hills. Established in 2012, the centre was lovingly built by her son to help bring Ms Vicki’s lifelong dream to life — creating a place where children feel safe, valued, nurtured, and inspired to learn every day.

Ms Vicki has dedicated her entire life to education and care. Her passion for supporting children and families is reflected in every part of the centre. Through her selfless dedication, generosity, and unwavering commitment, she has built this centre that truly feels like a second home for every child and family.

Over the past 10+ years, Ms Vicki and her family have remained deeply involved in the centre’s daily life and community. Their hands-on approach, strong family values, and genuine care have helped the centre earn a wonderful reputation within the Surry Hills community. Many families have trusted the centre across generations, knowing their children are receiving not only quality education and care, but also love, comfort, and security.

As a family-owned and operated centre, relationships have always been at the heart of what we do. We believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, respected, and supported as they grow and develop. Our educators work closely with families to create meaningful connections and provide an environment where children can confidently explore, learn, and thrive.

Today, the centre continues its beautiful journey with the support of Little Lion, while still maintaining the same warmth, values, and family spirit that Ms Vicki envisioned from the very beginning. Together, we remain committed to providing high-quality education and care in a safe, nurturing, and home-like environment — a true “home away from home” for every child.
