Additionally, we have a strong focus on natural elements and focus on education based around what the child displays interest in to ensure optimum engagement and advancements in their educational voyage in their early learning journey.
Community Kids Haven Redan has a large focus on a state-of-the-art outdoor learning environments and architecturally designed yards. Our meals are prepared freshly daily with a qualified cook in our centre kitchen.

We emphasise learning through play, allowing children to explore their interests through hands-on, child-led activities that build independence and critical thinking. Our program includes music to enhance creativity, sports through the Fit Kids Haven initiative for physical development, and gardening with natural materials like herbs and vegetables which promotes environmental awareness. Outdoor play in our state-of-the-art play spaces and sensory gardens develops a connection to nature and aides creative play.

Community kids haven is an absolutely beautiful facility. The chef cooks nutritious healthy meals for the kids, the director goes above and beyond for the families, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming.
We absolutely love Community Kids Haven Redan! My daughter is in the kinder room, and the growth we’ve seen in her over the past few months has been incredible. The educators are warm, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do.
She comes home every day excited to share what she’s learned, and it's clear she feels safe, supported, and happy in her environment. The kinder program is engaging, thoughtful, and perfectly balanced with play, creativity, and learning.
We feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful and caring centre. Thank you to all the amazing staff for everything you do!
