Welcome to Mother Duck Child Care Wynnum
Our modern child care centre in Wynnum offers a natural environment and home-like atmosphere that provides a sense of belonging to children and their families. Our centre operates using the primary caregiving system for children aged 6 weeks to 3 years, to allow each child and family to form strong stable relationships with their child’s primary caregiver. The approach is supported by early childhood research and based on child development and attachment theory. On enrolment, families are given information to support a smooth and positive transition from home to care.
We’ll also be providing healthy and nutritious meals in 2021.
