Fauna Place is a smaller-scale centre tucked away in a beautiful bush setting in the heart of Kirrawee. It is rated “Exceeding” by the governing body for childcare. 

The centre’s smaller numbers of children ensures we meet each child's individual needs. We warmly support parents with each child's specific requirements. With smaller numbers, each Educator knows each child well - their interests, strengths and needs. Families place great value on the quality relationships and interactions we have with them and their child.

Fauna Place families also enjoy the centre's strong community feel, forming strong connections and friendships with other families across the centre.

Fauna Place is led by a highly experienced Director with more than 17 years' experience. For six months during 2018 she was also Children’s Services’ Acting Quality Practice Manager, overseeing a number of Council’s childcare services. She is well versed in learning theories and practice and is extremely passionate and knowledgeable on children’s learning curriculums. Such is her passion for quality care and education, she has visited world renowned early education services in Reggio Emilia Italy, known for their early childhood philosophies.

The children benefit greatly from our team’s individual talents and specialties, creating a very engaging and dynamic learning curriculum. Among our team is a sustainability devotee who shares her passion for environmental education and experiences with the children. They are also a member of Council's Children's Services Sustainability SEED Team focusing on environmental programs within our services. One of our Educators regularly shares her cultural heritage with the children, engaging them in new culinary experiences and cultural celebrations.

Fauna Place is open from 7am-6.15pm, 51 weeks of the year. 

Families enjoy regular insights into their children's learning via a safe and secure communication app called Educa. Educa allows families to view and share learning stories, photos and videos, and collaborate with Educators about their child’s development, from the comfort of their phone.

A major part of the children's learning curriculum includes engaging with the local community. Our regular excursions encompass interactive, cultural and educational experiences, for example, ANZAC Day excursions and visits to Symbio. The community also comes to Fauna Place, with many incursion opportunities from the local fire brigade, musical groups and library staff for story time. 

The children enjoy a spacious, safe and well-resourced outdoor play space to build their physical skills and learn socialisation through play.   

All Council Early Education Centres deliver a curriculum which provides children with academic and life skills education. We promote the development of language and literacy, numeracy, social and emotional skills, physical development and cognitive growth.

Fauna Place has gained entry to the Early Language Learning Australia Program (ELLA) - a fun, digital, play-based language learning program for preschools to teach children a language other than English in their year before school. Fauna Place is introducing the centre's four and five year old children to Spanish, with the use of polyglot characters which help to learn words and phrases in Spanish. Children have the opportunity to learn numeracy and literacy concepts in Spanish and English.

Fauna Place provides an eco-friendly cloth nappy service to babies and toddlers, at no additional cost to parents.
