Childcare Director I South West Sydney

At the campus-style centre, children can roam between playrooms to enhance their learning experience. The centre houses state-of-the-art early learning facilities which were designed by leading pedological early learning environment architects and experts. 

This 2 storey childcare centre includes large indoor and outdoor play areas with natural light. The 7 indoor play areas include 3 infant rooms and 4 pre-schooler rooms, allowing us to focus on each child’s unique ability and developmental requirements.
