Currawong Early Childhood Service is a 92-place, family-focused practice located in Barton, at the heart of the parliamentary triangle in Australia. Catering to children aged six weeks to five years, our dedicated team of expert educators collaborates with families to provide a nurturing environment that supports children’s learning and development. We believe in the capabilities of children as competent learners and utilize structured play-based learning to facilitate their exploration and understanding of the world around them.
Our diverse team of educators, hailing from various cultures and speaking multiple languages, enriches the experiences of the children in our care by providing a wide range of perspectives and opportunities for growth. Led by Centre Director Emily, who brings a wealth of experience in early childhood education and a passion for empowering children to drive their own learning, we prioritize creating inclusive and stimulating indoor and outdoor spaces that cater to children’s interests and needs. Our commitment to supporting children as confident and capable lifelong learners is evident in our tailored educational programs and emphasis on fostering respectful relationships with families and communities.
At Currawong Early Childhood Service, we go beyond traditional childcare by offering a holistic approach that includes structured mixed-aged learning experiences, routines that provide consistency and predictability, and individualized educational plans based on each child’s developmental needs. Our strong connections with the DFAT community and active involvement in community programs such as Floriade reflect our dedication to creating learning environments that align with our values and promote children’s holistic development. Through evidence-based programs and inclusive service delivery, we strive to support children, families, and educators in reaching their full potential.
