Services
As acknowledged community leaders we advocate the significance of the early years of life. We believe that children are central to our philosophy and that positive relationships, built on secure attachments and trust and listening to children are essential for a child's early learning. We believe in valuing each child as an individual and acknowledge that parents know their child best.
One of the most important aspects at our centre is our nurturing, experienced and passionate educators. We have above the required educator-to-child ratios with a strong mix of qualifications in each room. We look after our educators by providing above award wages and conditions and we are committed to providing on going professional development to ensure all educators are up to date with the latest trends in the sector.
We offer a learning environment that is child initiated. The learning experiences invite the children to use their senses and explore in a safe, comfortable and secure environment. Literacy and numeracy are firmly embedded in everything we do and we support children to learn through play. We support children's and families' individual needs and have access to support services in the local community.
The Infant Room has been set up to care for children who are aged from 6 weeks to 16 - 18 months, dependent on the child's development. We aim to provide an environment that is warm, caring and nurturing, where an infant can develop trust in themselves and others. We believe in actively encouraging the infant to use his/her senses of touch, sight, sound and smell to gain information of his/her world and the people in it.
The Junior Room has been set up to care for children who are aged from 16 - 18 months to 2.5 years, dependent on the child's development. The staff ratio is 1:5. In keeping with the centre's philosophy, we believe that developing supportive, trusting relationships between families, children and educators is of vital importance and this is reflected in the way the Junior Room operates.

My sons went here. It backs on to the kindy and they walk them through the gate when they are 4 years old. The is perfect for working parents. They are accredited, not for profit; & parents can join the committee. Very professional. I Loved the reports I received on their development and friendships.

Both of my boys attend/attended happy valley community childcare centre, the eldest left the end of last year to go to school and what a beautiful young boy all the educators helped him become
My youngest is still there in the junior room and all the educators help him in every way possible to be his happy little self.
I don’t do pick ups/drop offs all that often but when I do all the educators make me feel welcome.
It’s a joy to be apart of such a nice centre!
