Make Your Move!

Located on the corner of Park Terrace and Second Street, Bowden, this double-storey centre has been custom-designed to meet the evolving learning needs of children six weeks to six years of age.

As you enter our beautiful centre, you’ll find our state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen and culinary lesson space as well as our parent lounge where families can catch up with each other or educators over fresh barista coffee and a baked treat.

Each of our learning hubs is bright and inviting, filled with rich, warm timber resources and innovative educational materials.  Each hub leads out to a wonderful outdoor space, where children can enjoy countless hours of fun on the bike track, in the cubbyhouse, or caring for the edible garden.

Our Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers deliver our Kindergarten program (4-6 years old), which is designed to support our children in developing the skills and abilities essential to achieving success in future learning environments.
