Diamond Creek
We are a purpose built long day care centre and kindergarten. We provide nappies, sunscreen, meals and extracurricular activities for your child. Throughout school holidays we also provide our busy families with an additional Vacation Care Program for your school aged children. Our Vacation Care curriculum is developed using the My Time our Place School aged curriculum to enable our educators to provide a stimulating age appropriate program.
Our centre provides weekly extra-curricular activities at no additional cost to families. These exciting programs include;
- Weekly music and movement program;
- Weekly sports program;
- Interactive cooking classes.
We recognise that children learn through investigative and exploratory play and with this in mind have designed open ended play spaces that give children the opportunity to explore, use imagination, as well as engage in decision making and problem solving. We also recognise the importance of teaching children to nurture and have respect for their environment. We focus on genuine connections and contributions to care for our natural world by actively involving children in sustainable gardening, recycling, up cycling, use of sustainable materials, water and energy conservation and community projects.
