A Place to Grow Childcare was formed in 2001 in response to a verbalised need for a preschool or nursery to focus on play and the development of social skills. Since then, we have developed a reputation for providing superior care in a safe, stimulating environment where children between the ages of 3 months and 12 years old are encouraged to freely express themselves.We are open 6:30am to 5:30pm from Monday through Friday and offer flexible arrangements for families who need it. We are conveniently located inside St Christopher School and St Angela School, with ample play areas for children to learn and grow. Parents are always welcome to stop by. We encourage you to contact us with any questions, comments or suggestions or to schedule a tour.
