Early Childhood Centres
We operate early childhood education and care centres in four handy ACT locations in Bruce and the Belconnen town centre, as well as at Milton on the South Coast. Each centre is staffed by experienced and qualified early childhood Educators who are passionate about providing quality care and education. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are all about community, and our warm and welcoming Educators embed that within our early childhood centres. Our centres are warm, welcoming and safe environments where children can learn and play to their full potential.
The CRCS difference
At Capital Region Community Services, we are about much more than childcare.
Choose to make a difference in the care and education of your child, as well as your community, by choosing a not-for-profit early childhood centre.
As a community service organisation that has been in the Belconnen region for nearly 50 years, we know the power of community and pride ourselves on making a difference. We prioritise the care of children above all else, and this is reflected in our policies, practices and prices.
Small, intimate settings in our centres allow for a holistic approach to education and care for your child. In addition to our academic curriculum, we nurture their social and emotional growth, creativity and physical well-being, to help them become confident, well-rounded individuals.
Our centres are deeply involved in local communities, and we can offer additional family support through our community-based services, such as parenting classes, playgroups, and counselling and psychology.
We understand the demands of modern family life. Our centres offer flexible part-time and full-time programs and extended care options to suit your schedule. We also offer casual half-days to help children settle into their centre.
By choosing a CRCS centre for your child’s education and care, you can have peace of mind knowing that your child is receiving the best possible care, while benefiting from the additional services and resources that only we can provide.
