CSIROCare Black Mountain Early Childhood Centre overview

Welcome to CSIROCare Black Mountain Early Childhood Centre

CSIROCare is a not-for-profit community-based early childhood centre located on the CSIRO Black Mountain site in Canberra’s Inner North. The centre is administered by a parent management committee. The centre caters for children aged 0 to 6 years across four rooms. We are located in a purpose-built building with a large playground that encourages nature play. The proximity to bushland and the Australian National Botanic Gardens allows us to offer lots of outdoor exploration and learning experiences.

Our children are provided for in a caring and safe environment by qualified educators and teachers with many years of experience. Most of our educators are diploma-qualified and we have four qualified Early Childhood Teachers and two educators working towards their Teacher’s Degree.

We embrace equality and diversity and have collaborative partnerships with both families and communities. We are a multicultural centre where Everyone is welcome.

We offer varied and inviting play spaces both indoors and outdoors with programs based on children’s interests which creates a strong foundation for their learning and development. Our outdoor areas include a large sandpit area, bike track, digging pit and gardens. We also take our children beyond the fence to explore the bushland and have access to the Botanical Gardens. Our extra-curricular programs include Ready Steady Go Kids Sport, Zen Music Circle, Recycling and Sustainability, A focus on embedding First Nations perspectives and year-round multicultural celebrations.

We supply morning tea, afternoon tea and a late snack for our children. We ask that parents supply lunch. Our kitchen meets food safety standards, and our cooks are certified in food safety procedures. We can cater for all children’s food allergies and dietary requirements.
