Choosing the Right Centre

Finding the right early learning centre for your child can be quite a daunting task, but it’s important to take the time to find one that’s right for you and your child.

Children flourish in environments that are fun, educational and nurturing, where they can develop positive relationships with educators as well as other children, and where they receive quality, professional care.

Effective communication with parents, approved programs and educational practices that support children’s individual learning and development are critical.

As all families have different requirements and expectations for child care, the best way to see if a centre is right for you is to come in, take a look around and speak with the staff.
