University Preschool and Child Care Centre

Welcome to University Preschool and Child Care Centre!

Nestled in the heart of the Australian National University (ANU) campus in Canberra, Australia, the University Preschool and Child Care Centre is a warm and welcoming place for your little ones. As a community-based, not-for-profit child care center, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where children can thrive.

Our Philosophy

At our center, we believe that play is the best way for children to learn. That’s why we focus on play-based learning, allowing children to explore, discover, and connect with the world around them. We also emphasize the importance of nature, encouraging outdoor activities that spark curiosity and foster a love for the environment.

Who We Serve

We cater to children from just four weeks old all the way up to school age, ensuring that every child receives the care and attention they need to grow and develop. Our center is proud to be rated as exceeding the National Quality Standard for Education and Care, a testament to our commitment to excellence.

Cultural Respect

We honor the rich history of the land we occupy by acknowledging the traditional custodians, the Ngunawal and Ngambri people. Their culture and values are woven into our programs, helping children to appreciate and respect the diverse world around them.

Join us at the University Preschool and Child Care Centre, where every day is an adventure in learning, friendship, and fun!
