Cammeray Children’s Centre is located in the beautiful grounds of Green Park in the Kendall Community Centre.  The premises features floor to ceiling windows bringing light and warmth to the indoor play environment.

We recognise the impact which the environment has not only on the way we feel, but the way in which a carefully constructed environment acts as a ‘third teacher’ and supports children’s learning and development.

The main room is filled with equipment and resources designed to foster all aspects of the children’s learning and development. There is a home-corner, a reading area in front of the fire place, a train table, wooden blocks and much more to facilitate children’s learning including their language development, motor skills and social relationships. Adjoining the main room is the Waratah Room, filled with equipment and resources including the smart board, designed to inspire and delight. There are also two outdoor play areas with equipment for climbing, crawling, sliding, digging and exploring.

There are several aspects of our service that distinguish us from other settings. As we care for children from birth to 6 years we are in a wonderful position to support children’s learning and develop throughout their early childhood. We are privileged to be part of their journey – from those first steps to the confident strides they take as they head off to school. This continuity not only strengthens their development but also provides a deep sense of belonging and emotional security.

A standout feature of our program is the inclusion of mixed-age, or family grouping times. These moments are especially valuable for siblings, offering them the chance to learn, play, and grow together in a shared environment. But the benefits extend far beyond families. When children of different ages interact, they experience a richer, more diverse learning environment. Older children develop empathy and leadership skills, while younger children are inspired by peer role models. These interactions nurture important social and emotional competencies and help all children learn to appreciate differences, respect others, and build inclusive relationships.
