Babies & Toddlers Centre

Located at 64 Victory Street in Welcome Bay, we specialise in catering for children from birth to three years of age, with a license for 25 children with a limit of only 10 infants (0-2 years old). We offer a safe space for crawling children and a dedicated sleep room with cots for the youngest ones. Our teachers get to know each child as a unique individual and our superb ratios allow for this. Our oldest children connect with nature through bush kindy. Growing vegetables and fruit for baking and soup making are regularly included in the program.

Our preschoolers love their Bush Kindy excursions into the Johnson’s Reserve each week.
