The Centre operates on the principle of free play.  Children are encouraged to participate in activities, but the choice of participation is up to them.  Activities range from craft, art and drama through to music, dance and games.  The Centre engages in special days, usually to mark the end of a period, an event or a child’s birthday. Educators provide a range of active and restful experiences throughout the day and support children regarding their participation in activities and experiences.  The Centre has a quiet library space where children can “chill out” and relax with friends.
