A Nurturing Space for Growth, Play, and Discovery
At our Gungahlin childcare centre, learning extends beyond the classroom with four outdoor play areas designed for exploration and connection with nature. For children 0-2 years, spaces include gardens, sandpits, climbing equipment, and water play, perfect for discovery and movement.
Children aged 2-6 enjoy a fort, rock climbing wall, bike track, dress-ups, and more to inspire active play and imagination.
