Locals with littlies can now register their interest with GRO Early Learning Charters Towers, set to open at Goldtower Central in January next year.
The new centre aims to offer a state-of-the-art early learning service for children aged six weeks through to school age.
The newly appointed Centre Manager, Fiona Ingram, has been in the industry for 30 years and has shown to be passionate about early education.
She has outlined her goal in a statement to build an environment suitable for every child’s personality.
Read her full statement as new Centre Manager of GRO Early Learning Charters Towers:
“I believe every child is unique and develops at their own pace through encouragement and opportunities.
Goldtower had a vision to develop a unique quality service in their development and we are excited to be apart of this vision
Our waitlist is filling fast with many families choosing our service to suit their needs. We will be catering from 6 weeks to primary age with before and after school care.
Meals are offered as part of our service and we are excited to offer mini master chefs as part of our curriculum. Children will be able to partake in cooking classes with our centre chef to further enhance their love of healthy nutritional food.
With our centre garden being a focus children will be able to grow and eat the produce giving satisfaction and a keen understanding of how food is made. We have a vision for children to experience all aspects of growth through hands-on interaction. From incubating chicken eggs to growing the chickens feeding them and then to more eggs for making cakes, boiled eggs and quiche. The full circle of life.
Our parents aren’t forgotten in our vision. We know mornings are busy and every parent will be treated to a free coffee and sweet treat every morning helping your commute to work pleasurable. We have a state of the art coffee machine and our centre chef will ensure you have a sweet treat to fuel you for the morning. Every enrolment will receive a free child’s shirt and hat and a reusable coffee cup for the parent.
Head to our website and register your child on our waitlist and come and join us on this exciting journey. As a mum of four children myself I can tell you your child’s happiness and development is my only priority and with so many amazing passionate team mates standing beside me we are set to have the most amazing environment for your child to grow and strive. I absolutely am so excited to meet you all.”
