All families are welcome at our centre and we encourage parents to get involved in our daily program. We also have strong connections with our local Aboriginal community, and surrounding schools, museums and farms to engage children with the wider community and celebrate diversity.

Children regularly engage with or visit our:

We have a number of educators who can speak Chinese. For families who speak languages other than English, communication can be translated into many other languages.
