At Hawthorn Childcare and Early Learning Centre we believe in participating in, and contributing to, the wider community. We are committed to working with children and families to support their sense of belonging and active participation in our local and global communities.
To assist children and families with this we invite people and organisations from across Adelaide to visit our Centre and share their experiences. Experiences are added throughout the year to expand on the current interests and knowledge of the children, and to support our families.
These include:
- Music and Movement classes
- Mobile Farmyard
- Mobile Junk and Nature Playground
- South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service
- SA Police
- SA Police Band
- Recyling information sessions with Mitcham Council
- Indigenous elders and community members
- Adelaide Zoo
- Storytime for preschoolers at Mitcham Memorial Library
- Free family information sessions on topics such as sleep, toilet training, and behaviour guidance
Families are encouraged to come and share any special interests or skills that they may have with the children.
