Children's Services Centre

Step 1.Early Years Learning

At Wangaratta Children’s Services Centre, we welcome all children from 6 weeks to 6 years into a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every day is filled with opportunities to learn and grow.

We believe in the power of play-based learning. Play is how children make sense of the world, develop creativity, and build social and emotional skills. Our educators create rich, engaging experiences that encourage curiosity and imagination.
