About the service

This beautiful service caters to more than 170 children when at full occupancy and strongly focuses on inclusion. The centre has a very generous amount of space for children to roam and explore. It also features six large rooms and age-appropriate outdoor play areas (with cubby houses, real sandpits, and little gardens). The service is just over three years old and purpose-built.

This service delivers an accredited kindergarten program. These programs are specifically created for fourto five-year-olds and will enable them to work independently and with their friends as they prepare for primary school.
