Family Grouping Care

Family Grouping Care is care that is available to children from six months to five years of age. Children from the same family can attend sessions together. This is a great session for younger children to have an opportunity to learn and play with older children.
 
Picture

Pre-Kinder

Pre-kinder care is available for children aged two to four years. These sessions are similar to a three year old pre-school program but children can attend from two years of age. There are three members on staff and parent participation isn't mandatory, but is always welcome!

This is a play based group. The program provides a great introduction to and preparation for, readiness for four year old kindergarten. Our aim is to enhance the development of social skills, co-ordination, language development, cognitive and fine motor skills, all of which are essential preparation for kindergarten and school readiness.
