AddressAbout us
The Mike Reynolds Early Childhood Centre is a community-based, not-for-profit Centre overseen by a management committee and is located in beautiful tropical Townsville, North Queensland.
Established in 1993, we are a long day care facility including a purpose-built Kindergarten. We cater for up to 71 beautiful children each day, aged from 3 months - 5 years old and strive to provide the best quality of care and education for our children, staff, and families.
Our sense of community and trust is second-to-none with the Centre being run by a parent committee, an appointed Director and Administrator.
Our team of dedicated volunteers are focused on keeping staff happy, supported, and catered for, and our strong bond is displayed by the length of time our Educators remain at the Centre – some have been with us since our establishment in 1993!
We currently have exciting Casual opportunities for Assistant Educators to commence immediately!
