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.
Our outdoor spaces are designed for adventure and discovery—established gardens, sand and water play, climbing areas, and a thriving community garden where children can plant, harvest, and soon care for chickens! These experiences help children connect with nature and build confidence through exploration.
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.
Our emergent curriculum grows from the interests and ideas of the children themselves. When a child shows curiosity, we follow their lead—turning questions into projects and discoveries that make learning meaningful and fun.
With a child-led approach, children have a voice in their learning. They choose activities, collaborate with friends, and explore topics that excite them, fostering independence and a lifelong love of learning.
Supported by long-term, dedicated educators and extra staff in every room, we provide personalised care and strong connections with families. Nutritious meals, exciting excursions and incursions, and a program that nurtures creativity, resilience, and confidence make every day an opportunity to thrive.
