11.01.2022 We are so humbled by the people who are standing by the centre and supporting us through this difficult time. By continuing to remain enrolled (whether the children attend or not) ensures that the centre will still be here on the other side of this, and that I can continue to employ our dedicated staff. If you are not attending, but still enrolled, please enquire as to whether you have used your 2 week 50% holding fee this financial year. If you have any questions about anything at all please ring us 88213709

11.01.2022 just a friendly reminder to provide your updated immunisation schedule Please send your updated immunisation schedule to us. New regulations state it must be an Australian Immunisation Register printout, not the blue book. Thank you

Thank you so much

09.01.2022 The last of the toy order for the Babies Room has arrived

09.01.2022 Our beautiful Kindy kids showing the toddlers their sign language version of I am Australian . Such serious faces concentrating!

09.01.2022 A reminder that if there is a forecast of CATASTROPHIC fire danger WITH predicted lightning strike the centre will be closed and no one is permitted on site for that day. Parents are not charged for that day if this occurs. We understand that being closed is a huge inconvenience and the decision to upgrade our policy last year to include this was not at all taken lightly. There is no way possible that we could safely evacuate 53 of your precious children to safety given tha...t there would be thick smoke, extreme heat, and possible road closures. Young children and babies are very susceptible to those conditions and we are not prepared to take that risk. We always have, and will continue to, treat your babies as our own. Should the centre ever be required to shut, we would post on our Facebook page and through our Earlyworks system with as much time as possible for you to make arrangements See more

08.01.2022 Rhiannon, our Art Educator, has been teaching the children the different styles of some famous artists. The children were given the opportunity to produce their own interpretations of the artists work. The results speak for themselves!
