Our centre consists of four children's rooms. Each room puts into place goals relating to the ages/stages of each child taking into consideration their abilities and interests.
Staff design a program that reflects the child's interests and encourages further development in curiosity, creativity and skills. Each room implements safe practices, fun and educational experiences which will secure the nurturing and safety of all children.
