Description

Established for 38 years and one of Canberra???s first child care facilities, Peter Pan Kindergarten is an inclusive and welcoming child care centre for 80 children aged three months to school age. Working co-operatively and in partnership with families, we seek to:

  • provide a stimulating, secure, and safe environment for children to grow and develop as individuals;
  • be responsive to the needs of each child and their family; and
  • ensure our performance meets or exceeds the highest of national standards.

The Centre is located in the leafy suburb of Curtin and is open Monday to Friday from 7.45am to 5.45pm, excluding public holidays. We offer full time & part time (2-5 days per week) care opportunities.
