HENDERSON

Centre Profile

Located on the corner of Universal Drive and Lincoln Road, Henderson’s Lollipops Educare centre provides wonderful opportunities for children to develop their sense of identity and self-worth. Our centre is staffed by educators who are passionate about their roles in young children’s lives and who genuinely care about the wellbeing and education of every child.

Toddlers and preschoolers enjoy a weekly one-hour visit by an aerobics teacher who provides lots of opportunities for children to express themselves through movement, dance and exercise.

Infants, Toddlers and Preschooler Areas

Separate areas for babies, toddlers and preschoolers have been designed to meet the specific needs of children’s various developmental stages. Each room provides a wonderful selection of activities and resources that inspire learning and discovery. As children grow, they can be safely and slowly transitioned without feeling overwhelmed.

Hours

The centre operates between 7am and 6pm each week day. We are closed only on public and statutory holidays.
