New childcare centre in Campbells Bay
It's been a journey of four years and a labour of love to restore and rebirth All Hallows Church in Campbells Bay. It's reincarnation as Campbells Bay Early Learning Centre is certainly striking and modern. It has been architecturally designed around the 1950s-built church, a heritage building, thus respecting its history and place in the community in a beautiful beachside location.
The philosophy of the centre draws on the practice of Emmi Pikler; respect and trust that the child can be the initiator and explorer of their own learning and Reggio Emilia; where children learn through their interests, social collaboration and investigation.
Daily meals are carefully planned with an onsite chef who caters to allergies and intolerances, and there is always a vegetarian alternative to their main meal.
Limited spaces available visit us at 220 Campbells Bay, or phone Alex and Hayley on 09 479 9090.
We'd love to show you around our exciting new learning centre!
