Children's Centres

Quality childcare and early learning for children aged six weeks to five years, including state‑funded 3‑ and 4‑year‑old kindergarten programs.

Open to staff, students and our local community

At Federation Children’s Centres, we recognise how important the early years are. We value each child’s individuality and the ideas they bring. Our educators create rich learning experiences through play‑based learning, planned activities, regular outings and everyday adventures. We support children as they learn, explore and play – from language and music to art, science, maths, sensory play and physical skills.
