Attunga Cottage Children’s Centre was established on the grounds of Peakhurst Public School in 1994.

We provide quality Long Day Care, Preschool, Before and After School Care and Vacation Care services for children and families in the local community. Our dedicated, qualified educators deliver a play-based positive and respectful early education program.

We believe that every child is a valued and unique individual, and all children are capable, resourceful and valued members of the community. It is our privilege to share our passion for early childhood with you.

Our Philosophy

Our vision is to provide loving connective care that nurtures, educates, inspires and values children and brings families and communities together.

At Attunga Cottage we believe that our philosophy is visually represented by our Oak tree that is well over 100 years old. Our tree symbolises the children and educator’s development and personal experiences all growing together and supporting the Early Years Learning Frameworks (National Curriculum) and the National Quality Standards (ACECQA) into our daily practices.

Long Day Care and Preschool

Our long day care and preschool program is based on The Early Years Learning Framework, a National Early Learning Framework for children from birth to five years.

Our early childhood educators use the Early Years Learning Framework in partnership with parents, carers and families to develop learning programs that are responsive to children’s ideas, interests, strengths and abilities.

Before and After School Care

We know how hard it is juggling a 9-3 school day when you work 9 – 5. We get it. You need more time outside of normal school hours. Our before and after school care program offers convenient programs that are fun, safe and rewarding for your child.

At Attunga, your child will enjoy access to creative and recreational activities, catered to their unique needs, interests, personalities and abilities because we recognise the benefits of high quality Outside School Hours Care, and the difference it can make in a family’s life..

We love, love, love Attunga! Our daughter has learned so much since starting there and they have helped her grow into this beautiful, confident little human. Their outdoor space is unlike any other and their love for animals is a very welcome extra. We are glad that our daughter has another year there, and number 2 will follow in a few years. Can't thank Nat and her wonderful team enough for all that they do!!

Attunga has been the most amazing place for my children. We have felt welcomed and my children accepted as little individuals. Encouraged to be develop at their own speed, in their own way. Nat and the team are so lovely, approachable and caring and l definitely have had no hesitation leaving my boys in their care. The indoor and outdoor space gives the kids lots of areas to explore and is always evolving with something new for the kids. Can’t recommended Attunga highly enough!

All 5 of my children have attended Attunga over the past 11years. Amazing, welcoming atmosphere, wonderful staff, great service and peace of mind knowing your children are being so well cared for. My appreciation for these marvellous teachers goes beyond words.

We have been fortunate to have our son enrolled at Attunga for the past (almost) two years. The team at Attunga are a second 'family' to our son. He is welcomed every day with open arms by all the wonderful staff members. The daily programming is contextual to suit his interests as well as all the other children. The centre has wonderful outdoor play areas that inspire imagination and creativity. As our son has developed, so too have the activities to suit his needs eg gross/fine motor and interest in beginning literacy concepts eg drawing and writing. The communication from staff is exceptional and we love our photo updates. I am not ready to say goodbye as James will be starting Kindergarten next year, but I know that he is well-prepared and has flourished in confidence, which I credit largely to the amazing ladies at Attunga!!!

My son has gone to this preschool for the past few years. He loves it! The teachers a some welcoming. Fantastic centre, can highly recommend.
