Smeaton Grange Childcare Centre
Conveniently located in the heart of Smeaton Grange, our Early Learning Centre has been custom designed with interconnecting rooms to facilitate dynamic group learning and foster strong social skills.
The engaging indoor learning environment incorporates a wide range of educational resources including wooden blocks to develop numeracy skills, a pretend cooking area to promote imaginative and dramatic play, an art space to encourage creativity and a relaxing reading area to inspire a love of literacy from the very beginning.
In the outdoor learning environment, children build problem-solving skills and explore in the cubby house and sandpit or use the open space for free play and fitness. Beyond the fence, a heritage-protected creek bed invites children to discover their natural environment, while professional educators use the vegetable garden and worm farm to teach children about sustainability and healthy eating.
Children up to age three participate in the tailored Evolution Program, while those between three and five join the Transition to School Program.
Our in-house cook prepares five nutritious meals every day. All nappies and wipes are included. Cot linen provided (excludes stretcher bed linen).
