We interact with a family of possums that frequent our service, as well as birds that visit the large shady trees in our calm and natural play space._

We connect with Country by engaging children in caring for country responsibilities and our music and language reflects local culture while supporting children’s early literacy skills. We are very much involved with the Paint Shoalhaven Red Black and Yellow literacy initiative._
