WELCOME TO ATTUNGA
Small, connected and proudly local.
Attunga Cottage Children's Centre has been part of the Peakhurst community since 1994. Located on the grounds of Peakhurst Public School, we provide a warm, welcoming environment for children aged 3–5.
Our experienced educators value genuine relationships, meaningful play and the individuality of every child. We work closely with families to create a sense of belonging, where children feel safe, confident and supported.
We're proud to be rated Exceeding the National Quality Standard.
Our Vision
“Loving, connective care that nurtures, educates, inspires and values children, and brings families and communities together.”
OUR APPROACH
Children are capable. Play matters.
We believe children learn best when they feel safe, respected and connected. Our play-based program encourages curiosity, creativity, independence and a genuine love of learning.
Children enjoy opportunities to explore, investigate, take appropriate risks, build friendships and follow their interests throughout the day.
Our approach is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, with each child's voice, strengths and individuality at the centre of our practice.
Relationships first: Warm, respectful connections with children and families.
Learning through play: Child-led discovery, creativity and room to explore.
Nature and connection: Outdoors every day, caring for our shared environment.
Every child’s strengths: Each child is valued, capable and unique.
LEARNING AND SCHOOL READINESS
Learning happens all day.
Our comprehensive preschool and school-readiness program is thoughtfully woven throughout each day, rather than limited to particular sessions.
Through play, intentional teaching, small-group experiences and everyday routines, children develop communication, early literacy and numeracy, independence, social confidence and problem-solving skills.
Our close connection with Peakhurst Public School provides valuable opportunities for children to become familiar with the school community, supporting a positive transition to kindergarten.
Growing confident learners
Communication: Language, conversations, stories and early literacy.
Thinking: Numbers, patterns, problem-solving and discovery.
Independence: Confidence, self-help skills and making choices.
Connection: Friendships, emotional wellbeing and belonging.
