Sandhills Early Childhood Centre

We have four unique learning spaces for children, each with its own natural outdoor space.

Groups of young children engage in play with their peers and are observed and guided by familiar, qualified and dedicated longstanding staff.

It is our role to nurture and support children’s curiosity and emotions and develop meaningful relationships with each other. Shared time together is a core component of our over arching Service Ethos.

The outdoor playscapes at Sandhills are abundant with trees, garden beds, rockeries and grassed areas.

We have two worm farms, there are gardens in each area and the children are very proud of their gardening efforts.

We have a local indigenous bush tucker garden, plotted and planted in collaboration with the Arakwal Corporation. 

The children contribute to waste management by:

• Recycling paper 
• Feeding the worms with our kitchen scraps. 

A 10,000 gallon water tank collects water from the roof for use in the washing machine and toilets. 

We run a Water Wise education program and have completed a waste audit.

We are excited at the opportunity to sow the seeds of sustainability in our children that may really impact on the future of our planet.
