Our centre enjoys a private aspect in the heart of Kirrawee, off President Avenue. We’re near Kirrawee train station and next to the commuter car park. This makes dropping off and picking up children easy for families. Our central location also allows us to enjoy many local excursions and experiences.
Children love spending time in our new state-of-the-art playground. It's an important space – the same amount of learning occurs outdoors as it does indoors. Our ‘outdoor classroom’ promotes active play. Children develop social skills, imagination, gross motor skills, expressive language and more. Outside, children play on our climbing structure, slide and wooden teepee. They love riding trikes along our bike track. The sandpit and mud kitchen are popular for imaginative play. A covered deck provides all-weather fun including art experiences and mealtimes.
Our Centre Director has more than 20 years’ experience. She is a former director at other Council centres. She is knowledgeable about learning theories and children’s curriculum. Our team is passionate about school readiness. The centre's holistic program promotes confidence, independence and active learning. These are essential ingredients for a successful start to kindergarten. Our dedicated early childhood professionals are nurturing and dedicated. The smaller number of enrolled children at our centre allows us to support every child’s individual needs and goals. At the heart of our philosophy is close communication and collaboration with parents.

I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Fauna Place Childcare. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and community. The staff at Fauna Place are not just caregivers; they are educators, nurturers, and friends to our children. Our child has special needs, and finding a place that could provide the right support and understanding was crucial for us. The team at Fauna Place has exceeded our expectations in every way. They have created an inclusive environment where our child feels safe, valued, and happy. The staff are incredibly patient and attentive, always going the extra mile to ensure that our child’s unique needs are met. Even though our child only attends two days a week, the impact has been profound. The environment is incredibly welcoming and safe, filled with vibrant colors and engaging activities that stimulate the children’s minds and imaginations. What truly sets Fauna Place apart is the dedication and passion of the staff. They take the time to understand each child’s unique needs and personalities, fostering an inclusive and supportive atmosphere. The communication with parents is outstanding, with regular updates and photos that keep us connected to our child’s daily experiences.

In January 2012 the National Quality Framework (NQF) came into effect across Australia.
The purpose of the NQF is to improve and standardise the quality of child care through a
range of measures including better staff to child ratios, higher staff qualifications
and an assessment and rating system designed to promote continuous improvement.
Under the NQF child care services are assessed and rated against the National Quality Standards (NQS).
The NQS measures the quality of early childhood education and care in Australia. It will cover
most long day care, family day care, preschool/kindergarten and outside school hours care services.
Under these standards child care services will be assessed and rated against the
seven quality areas, 18 standards and 58 elements that make up the NQS.
