Playgrounds
Three playgrounds keep babies, toddler and the 3-5 year olds all playing safely separately.
• The 3 – 5 year playground is one of the largest in Brisbane. It offers wide open spaces, an inbuilt sand pit, swings, extensive climbing equipment and a wide variety of quality education resources.
• Directly off from their room, the toddlers have their own play ground. This allows them flexibility in routine as well as the ability to set up age appropriate equipment and materials. This lovely space overlooks a beautiful park at the rear of the building.
• The babies too have an outdoor space of their own, flowing through off their indoor play area and overlooking the lovely natural park. Having a space of their own offers the babies flexibility in their routine and a safe, age appropriate environment.
