NORTH PERTH - SPINRITE CHILD AND FAMILY CENTRE
    Child Care Hours 6:30 a.m - 5:30 p.m
    Our child care & school-age programs are developed on an inclusion emergent
    curriculum philosophy. We believe children learn to the fullest of their potential
    when they are engaged in play that is meaningful to them. When we, the educators,
    take the lead from the child, we become a co-learner with the child and the
    opportunities are endless.

    Learning experiences and opportunities are given for the children to explore their
    curiosity & creativity, and to develop self help & self regulation skills while in a
    social setting. Our educators understands the importance of fostering well-being,
    engagement, belonging and expression on a daily bases.

    We are firm believers that children learn just as much outdoors as they do indoors.
    At our Child Care Centre we are fortunate to provide our little explorers an age
    appropriate inclusion natural outdoor play spaces. The elements engage children while encouraging them to express themselves (i.e
    performance stage area & outdoor kitchen) and to take safe risks (i.e balance beams & play structure)
