Parkvale

At our Parkvale centre our warm and caring staff welcome children and their families in a familiar and secure environment.,

There is plenty of open space on the field for our children to enjoy activities such as archery, cricket, soccer and rugby games. We are also fortunate to have the school pool for swimming in summer.

The planned activities for the weeks create intrigue and excitement from the children. Often the centre participates in science driven activities. There is also a variety of art and craft ideas provided every day.

Our staff at this centre are very passionate on creating an environment which is fun yet stimulating.

Come along, and bring your children to see how awesome the centre is and meet our wonderful staff!
