Communities at Work’s Narrabundah Early Childhood Service offers quality care and early education for children aged from birth to 5 years old through their long day care program. With the inclusion of the OSHC program, children and families benefit from a seamless transition from early childhood to year 2, fostering a sense of continuity and support. Situated on Ngunnawal land in close proximity to Canberra’s bustling inner south and parliamentary triangle, the service is co-located with the Narrabundah Early Childhood School, creating a vibrant and nurturing community for families embarking on their educational journeys.
Embracing a deep connection to the land and its people, Narrabundah Early Childhood Service integrates nature pedagogy across all age groups and prioritizes sustainable and environmental practices in their indoor and outdoor spaces. The service’s commitment to fostering a sense of community extends beyond the educational aspect, with a range of health care services, pre-and post-natal programs, and community events offered within the facility. Educators at the service are dedicated to promoting children’s self-confidence, resilience, creativity, and imagination, creating a supportive environment for holistic development.
Through a play-based program that celebrates cultural diversity and encourages the use of home languages and traditions, Narrabundah Early Childhood Service aims to instill respect, inclusion, and social connectedness in children. The service values genuine partnerships with families, actively involving them in the learning and development processes. By providing a nurturing and safe environment where children can thrive, the service fosters positive life skills, environmental affinity, and a deep-rooted respect for reconciliation, ensuring that each child’s uniqueness is celebrated and embraced.
