Our centre opened on the 24th of January 2004. We are open 52 weeks per year and are only closed on gazetted public holidays. We cater for children from six weeks to school age. We currently operate two centres. In Centre one we have a Nursery, Toddler, Pre-Kindy, Kindy and Pre-School Program, while in Centre two we operate a Nursery, Toddler, Pre- Kindy and Pre-School room.

At our centre we work closely alongside you as the family to ensure we are delivering the highest level of care to your children at all times. Our equipment and resources are updated twice yearly and we pride ourselves on our clean and well presented centres.

We always encourage the children to learn through play and discovery and we successfully achieve this through our diverse programs. One example is each year our Pre-School children go on a 12 week world tour catching planes from country to country and getting their passports stamped at each new destination. At each stopover they learn about the culture and customs while also participating in a cooking experience which pertains to that country. For instance, in Italy the children revelled in making pizzas. They also enjoyed taking in the sights of the Eiffel tower in Paris.

We have a strong focus on language and literacy and encourage children to explore this through Show and Tell opportunities as well as being able to borrow books from our library to take home. There is nothing sweeter than seeing children of all ages delight in choosing a new bedtime story to share with mum and dad each night.

Once a week we also offer the services of an extra curricular activity called Kids in Motion which allows children to experience a half hour lesson with a qualified dance and movement instructor. We have also just introduced Spanish Lessons. There is a charge for these lessons, which is arranged through the instructors.

There are a variety of experiences planned every day and we hope that you can come along and join in the fun.
