Originally opened in 1975, Mackay Child Care Centre offers nurturing long day care services for children between 0 and 6 years of age. Open from 6am to 6pm Monday to Friday, we offer working parents peace of mind that their child is well cared for and educated. Our Mackay child care facility is central for parents working in the CBD. We have a large outdoor garden with plenty of shade and undercover areas. Children can interact with chickens and pets, while also learning quality curriculum from skilled educators. Mackay Child Care Centre is a community-based centre, managed by a committee. Our centre values family and community support, diversity and sustainable practices. We aim to educate children, while also catering for their individual personalities. We encourage strong bonds through positive interactions, through children's parties and play centre activities, as well as child minding and kindergarten teaching. Mackay Child Care teaches within the Early Years Learning Framework, preparing your child for school. For Mackay child care in a nurturing environment, with both long day care and short day care options, our community facility is a great choice for your family.

If you are looking for a fun and safe environment in which your child can develop a love of learning, look no further than the Kookaburra Community Child Care Centre. Since 1985, our experienced Mackay teachers have provided vacation, before and after school care services to kids aged 0-12. Kindergarten programs, designed to foster fundamental literacy, numeracy and peer interaction skills, are run at our centre. To maximise the convenience of parents and guardians, child care benefits and rebates are offered. At the Kookaburra Community Child Care Centre, we believe that learning should be always be fun. Because of this, our qualified teachers run both indoor and outdoor educational programs. In order to instil within the children in our care an appreciation of environmental sustainability, we hold activities that involve growing and picking vegetables, as well as compost creation. The natural grass and trees at our location comprise the perfect, safe environment in which kids can exercise, make new friends, and have loads of fun. Healthy meals are provided for the kids in our care. The kindergarten programs run at the Kookaburra Community Child Care are designed to encourage your child to develop new interests and strengthen old ones. Japanese classes for kindergarten age kids are run at our location. To find out more about our educational programs, call or visit Kookaburra Community Child Care today.
