Princes Close Early Years

Princes Close Early Years caters for children aged three months to six years, and it provides a funded kindergarten program for children aged three and four years.

It is a warm and welcoming space with intimate and secure indoor settings and a large, open outdoor space that promotes natural play. We celebrate your child as an individual and embrace diversity.

The educators focus on your child’s strengths to build strong foundations in both academic and social skills that will prepare them not only for school but for life.

Education and care are provided on a permanent basis. Your child will attend on the same day/s each week, with an ongoing placement until you amend your booking or cease care.
