Welcome to C&K Napranum Early Childhood Centre. We pride ourselves in acknowledging and respecting the culture, background and history of each individual child and their families. We want to ensure that each of these individual needs are respected and considered in all aspects of our service.
At the Napranum Early Childhood Centre, our aim is to provide a safe, secure and loving environment for your child. We believe that for a child to develop to their full potential they must trust the teachers looking after them. A part of this trust is built on the bonds and attachment they develop with the teachers in the room. We endeavour to provide consistency for your child by following the routine you have at home and the care practices you use. We believe the only way to do this is to develop strong relationships with the families.
