  • long standing staff with more than half of our existing staff members having in excess of 10 years service
  • a family feel with four (4) of our staff members being a "mother and daughter" and a "mother and son" combination
  • we currently look after the grandchildren of our some of the original parents whom attended our centre
  • on site cook with freshly prepared meals each day & a rotating menu
  • we currently have Vacation Care available and will be re-introducing Before & After School Care in the later half of 2011

Our aim is to encourage a strong association between the family and the centre by maintaining a home like atmosphere, almost an extended family, allowing your children a smooth transition into the early childhood education. We welcome all enquiries and look forward in showing you Grays Point Early Learning Centre.
