As a not-for-profit organisation, we are deeply committed to reinvesting in our purpose – to provide exceptional educational environments for our children and educators. We are excited to share news of a series of planned significant upgrades and improvements across our services, reflecting our unwavering commitment to our vision.
Our Facilities Management team has been diligently working to align our environments with our vision. We have collaborated with professionals to install quality commercial equipment in our laundry, kitchen, and refrigeration services, giving precedence to these over domestic products to enhance the quality of our offerings.
Many of these projects need to happen outside of operating hours, so weekends and evenings are busy while the children are at home with loved ones!
These enhancements create spaces that inspire learning, foster growth, and support the well-being and safety of our children and our people. They are a testament to our dedication to quality education and our belief in the power of well-designed, comfortable, and safe spaces to enhance children’s learning outcomes.
We are proud of these upgrades and improvements, and we believe they refresh and revitalise the children’s play spaces. We are committed to continuous improvement and investment in our facilities, ensuring that we provide the best possible environments for our children and educators.
