Health and wellbeing
Mental health
Our educators are trained in various programs to support the mental health of your child and are skilled in working with children who have experienced challenges and trauma. We also offer mental health support for families if you find yourself in need of assistance.
Nutrition
We encourage children to take care of their minds and bodies. We provide healthy and nourishing food to fuel growing bodies and emphasise the importance of healthy eating. Your child will assist in preparing healthy food, which is culturally and dietary appropriate. We use locally grown ingredients, some from our own garden. We also participate in the Smiles 4 Miles program to encourage good oral health and healthy eating.
Safe environment
As a child safe organisation, our educators undergo regular working with children’s and police checks. We are focused on delivering learning and development in a safe and supportive environment, so you can trust that your child is in good hands.
