We are a 75 place centre made up of five rooms that are all very spacious and open
Our warm, friendly and professional team of educators strive to provide the highest quality care and learning experiences for the children through strong partnership with our families
Our aim is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can build a sense of belonging. We believe in a play-based learning environment that supports children to build connection with country and culture.
Outside, our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces - with everything you would expect in a vibrant and activity based play area. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability - while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam
