Changing childcareΒ can be easy.
We understand that receiving news about your child’s care arrangements closing is stressful and unsettling β especially when the timing isn’t your choice. You’re navigating something genuinely hard, and we want to make it as smooth as possible.
At Sorella, we think of ourselves as an extension of your family home. Our team will take the time to understand your child’s unique needs, routines and personality so they feel safe, loved and excited from their very first day.
“We understand changing childcare can feel overwhelming. Our team is here to support families through the transition with tours, enrolment assistance and a warm welcome.”

We never rush a child’s first days. We work at your little one’s pace, building trust slowly and with care.

Supporting childrenΒ through change
Getting to know your child
Before your child begins, we spend time learning about their personality, routines, comfort objects, sleep patterns and favourite activities. This means we can hit the ground running on day one.
Open communication always
Before your child begins, we spend time learning about their personality, routines, comfort objects, sleep patterns and favourite activities. This means we can hit the ground running on day one.
Consistent, familiar educators
We carefully assign a primary educator to your child β someone who will be their consistent, trusted person each day. This continuity of care is central to how we support transitions.
Continuity of learning
If possible, share your child’s learning portfolio or developmental records from their previous centre. We’ll build on that foundation so your child continues to flourish.
Settle-in visits at your pace
We work at your child’s pace β not ours. Some children settle in two visits; others need more time. We follow their lead and never rush the process.
Daily updates for parents
Through our parent communication app, you’ll receive photos, observations and updates throughout the day β giving you peace of mind while you’re at work or at home.

Book your tour β we'd love to meet you

Things families often ask us
Do you have places available for children from Living Faith?
Yes β we currently have places available across several age groups. We encourage you to get in touch as soon as possible so we can confirm availability for your child’s age group and your required days. Call us on 07 2111 6711 or complete the form above.
How quickly can my child start?
We can often accommodate a July start date, particularly for families affected by the Living Faith closure. Once your enrolment paperwork is complete and your CCS is set up, we’ll work with you to find the earliest possible start date that’s right for your family and your child.
How do you help children who are anxious about change? βΎ
We take settling in very seriously. All new children participate in settle-in sessions before their official start date so they can explore the environment, meet their educators and find their comfort zone β all without the pressure of a full day. We work at your child’s pace and assign a consistent primary educator for additional security and trust-building.
Can you help me set up Child Care Subsidy (CCS)?
Absolutely. Our administration team is experienced in helping families navigate CCS through Centrelink. We’ll guide you through the process step by step, including what you need to do if you’re moving from another provider.
