Did you know children develop both fine and gross motor skills through everyday play? š§
š Fine motor skills involve small movements such as holding pencils, threading beads, or buttoning clothes.
šāāļø Gross motor skills use large muscle groups by running, jumping, climbing, and balancing!
At our centre, we create fun opportunities for both, helping children build strength, coordination, and confidence every day.

At Imagine Childcare and Kindergarten, we are committed to excellence in caring and to ensure that your children will be nurtured in a caring and learning environment that exceeds all expectations for early childhood education.
We want our centre to be a special, safe place for children and staff. We would like you as parents to feel that we are open to ideas to constantly improve our service and meet the ever-changing needs of a busy centre.
In your childās transition from home to Kindergarten, our aim is to function as an extended family in order to provide your child with the security, warmth and love, which are basic to his or her positive development and growth. At our centre, we have a fundamental belief that in order for us to care for you and provide educational experiences of the very highest standard for your child, we must work closely with you, the parent.
At Imagine, we run an approved Kindergarten program with qualified Early Childhood Teachers who use the latest in technology with interactive white boards incorporated into the program, preparing the children for starting school.
The staff use iPads for their daily programs and are able to show a snap shot of the childrenās day.
We have on-site extracurricular activities such as āSmall Sportsā, Japanese, Tennis, Yoga, and
Cooking Lessions and shows that come to the centre at special times of the year.
We aim to provide an indoor/ outdoor environment that includes garden beds for the children to explore nature and develop positive dispositions to the world around them.
Our centre is open 52 weeks of the year, closed public holidays. Our hours of operation are 6:30am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday, caring for children aged six weeks to six years, with vacation care provided during school holidays.
