The Akidamy Fremantle is a childcare and early learning centre for children from 3 months to 5 years, located on Level 2 at 28 Cantonment Street in Fremantle, Western Australia. Since 2025, it has been welcoming families into a setting that sits within the iconic Woolstores building in the heart of the community. The school describes itself as an early learning environment rather than traditional childcare, with an emphasis on providing a calm, nurturing experience and helping children develop a genuine love for learning. Its location also gives children views across the harbour and the Port of Fremantle, creating a daily sense of connection to the place they live.
Learning at The Akidamy Fremantle is guided by the Reggio Emilia approach, and the school says its educators embed this philosophy into every part of the day. The program includes Italian lessons, alongside learning in English and Italian. The school also highlights small class sizes, tailored age groups, and early childhood teachers in every studio, with consistent full-time educators rather than casual or contractor staff. This structure is intended to support continuity, strong relationships, and individualised attention. The school’s published focus on “creative learning” is reflected in its specialised spaces, including atelier art studios and an open kitchen, La Cucina.
Daily life at the centre is shaped by a thoughtfully designed environment. There are seven intimate studios for children from three months to five years, two dedicated Atelier art studios, a yoga and music room, and three age-specific outdoor play areas. These outdoor spaces face the Port of Fremantle and the Heritage Precinct and are described as nature-filled places where children can build with loose parts, explore varied terrain, find quiet nooks, and move freely. The school also notes that it provides everything children need as part of its “nothing but the child” ethos, and that dedicated drop-off parking bays on Level 1 sit beside the school elevator to make arrivals and departures easier for families.
What stands out most about The Akidamy Fremantle is the combination of its architecturally designed setting, its consistent staffing, and its tailored approach to early learning. The school presents itself as a place where children are known, settled, and unhurried, with spaces designed to support creativity, comfort, and curiosity. It may be a good fit for families looking for an early learning community that values Reggio Emilia principles, Italian language exposure, and a strong sense of place in central Fremantle. Pricing is available on request.
