** PLEASE CALL 02 9710 0466 FOR CURRENT VACANCY/WAITLIST INFORMATION. ANY VACANCIES WILL BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE www.sutherlandshire.nsw.gov.au/earlyeducation **

Waratah Street is a quiet, smaller-scale centre next to beautiful Gunnamatta Park. We’re a one-minute walk from Cronulla train station and close to four primary schools: Cronulla, Cronulla South, Burraneer Bay and St. Aloysius. We make use of our beautiful local environment for the children's learning. We also engage with our community by visiting parks, library storytimes and many other local destinations.

Families love our centre’s community feel. We enjoy strong connections with families and encourage their contribution to the children’s curriculum.

Our new playground is spacious and full of exciting opportunities to extend children's development. It features a sandpit with water feature, large spiderweb climbing structure, cubby house with slide, shaded reading nook for quiet time and connecting with nature, and a herb and veggie garden for our garden-to-plate program.

Environmental practices are important to us. The children love to garden and help with composting. They also harvest veggies for use in our centre meals.

Families value our skilled team and the genuine care we have for children. Inclusion and diversity are at the heart of our centre. We meet every child’s needs and we warmly support parents' goals for their child. 

Our quality learning program includes a deliberate combination of intentional teaching and spontaneous learning. It also reflects the children’s interests and each child’s learning goals. We foster every child's love of learning. Our creative early education programs follow the Australian Government's Early Years Learning Framework, the only government-approved learning framework for children under school age.
