Joyful Freedom
Our signature. Their experience.
Joyful Freedom is the experience we create for your child.
It grows from authentic connection…
Because when children feel deeply known, safe and valued, they have the confidence and freedom to explore their world.
Joyful Freedom is what becomes possible when authentic connection comes first.
Two centres. One heart.
A childhood filled with wonder
At Panania Childcare Centre and Panania Preschool-Kindergarten, we believe childhood should be treasured. For over 80 years combined, these two early learning services have given children the freedom to imagine, create, explore and become.
At the heart of everything we do is Samsala: the word we created to capture the childhood we dream of for every child. Joyful, loving, curious, imaginative, connected and filled with possibility. It's the childhood we hope for every child in our care, and it guides how we care for them, day after day.
Two centres. One heart.
Both of our centres are small by design. That means we truly know each child and each family, and every child is known, loved and free to be themselves. Each has its own character, and both are guided by the Samsala Way.
Our Locations
Panania Child Care Centre
Long day care and preschool · Birth to 5 years · 39 children
Panania Child Care Centre is a small boutique long day care and preschool that has been providing loving, quality care for over 25 years.
We are a passionate, family owned and operated service caring for only 39 children from birth to 5 years. Because our numbers are small, we really get to know our families and children. Babies are held and cherished, toddlers are given time to explore, and older children are free to imagine and create. Together, they grow up as part of one warm community.
Panania Preschool-Kindergarten
Preschool and kindergarten · 2 to 5 years · 36 children
Panania Preschool-Kindergarten has been part of the local Panania community for over 55 years, providing quality, loving care to generations of families.
Caring for only 36 children from 2 to 5 years, we are a passionate, family owned and operated service. In this small setting, children have the space to wonder, play and build the confidence they need for the years ahead, and we take the time to get to know every child and family.
The heart of Panania Childcare Centre & Preschool-Kindergarten
Our difference
At the heart of Panania Childcare Centre and Panania Preschool-Kindergarten is what we like to call Samsala.
It’s the word we’ve come up with to represent the joyful loving child - curious, imaginative, connected and filled with possibility.
It gives a name to something that has always been at the heart of our centres: our belief that childhood should be treasured and that every child should experience the freedom to wonder, imagine, create, belong and become uniquely themselves.
The Samsala Journey
Our approach to childhood
We lovingly nurture every child’s natural development through our shared values of love, family, courage and spirituality.
We treasure the joy of creating authentic connections with the children, enabling them to be free and safe to express their inherent creativity and imagination.
Our Philosophy has been shaped over the years by our educators, families and children along with contemporary early childhood education philosophies. Our centres weave together these different perspectives to deliver a service that is unique and tailored allowing us to truly get to know the children and families within our care.

The Joyful, Loving Child
This is how we see childhood.
We needed a way to describe the vision we hold for every child, so we created a name… Samsala.
For us, Samsala represents a joyful, loving childhood — filled with curiosity, imagination, connection and unlimited possibility.
It gives a name to something that has always been at the heart of what we do at our Panania childcare centres: our belief that childhood should be treasured and that every child should experience the freedom to wonder, imagine, create, belong and become uniquely themselves.
Samsala is not a program. It is a way of seeing each child.
