Early learning centres and kindergartens

Our early learning services

We provide two early learning centres, Annie Galvin and Helen Jessen, for families with young children.

Our early learning centres are assessed and rated under the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development National Quality Framework.

They operate 50 weeks a year and close over the Christmas period and for public holidays.
