Welcome to Circular Head Children's Services Inc

The Centre, which was purchased by the Commonwealth Government from the Catholic Church, (the old St Attracta’s School) opened its doors in August of 1987, after being initiated by local parents, community representatives and Council representatives.

The Centre with its strong connection and involvement with the community and interested parents under took extensive work with the Local Council, Apex and community volunteers to provide quality care within the community.

Initially the Centre was utilised more on a Family Day Centre model, which then moved into a Long Day Care model and was sponsored by the Council and later became an Incorporated Association in October of 1992, and as such operates as a not for profit organisation with all profit put into the ongoing development and maintenance of the Centre.

A major building renovation took place in 1996 to the approximate value of $300,000 which refurbished and upgraded the external and internal environment which provided a bright, light, airy, and modern Centre.

Our Centre has a strong commitment to high quality care and education for children. We are committed to the ongoing evaluation and continual improvement of the children’s services. 

The Centre consists of three areas, which are named accordingly:

Sweet Pea Nursery 0 – 2yrs

Gumnut Room 2 – 3yrs

Busy Bee Room 3 – 7yrs

The Centre’s three areas are organised to cater for the particular needs of the various age groups. These groupings are a guide only. Children are able to make the transition to each room at their own pace, closely monitored by both the parents and Educators.

Each room has access to the outside areas. All rooms are designed to provide a child-centred home like environment and have adjoining bathrooms.

Circular Head Children’s Services Inc. is licenced for fifty eight children aged from birth to seven years.

Throughout the day children of all ages frequently play together in order to maintain a “family” environment.

Children may attend on a full or part time basis and casual care is available where vacancies exist.
