Our educators intentionally plan their classrooms to promote a sense of belonging through the familiarity of home-like spaces. Rooms in our Carindale child centre are well resourced to support and foster children’s curiosity, problem-solving, early literacy and early numeracy skills.
We’ll also be providing healthy and nutritious meals in 2021.
