Drawing inspiration from the iconic Queenslander architecture, the charming design of this central Sunshine Coast centre incorporates classic features such as high ceilings, timber cladding, and expansive verandas. However, a modern twist is added through contemporary materials, clean lines, and innovative design details, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere. With a capacity for 104 children, this centre offers a comprehensive range of facilities and amenities designed to support early childhood education and development.
Catering to the diverse needs and age groups of children, the centre boasts six spacious activity rooms. From the nurturing environment of the nursery with a dedicated sleep room to the engaging and stimulating kindy rooms, each space is thoughtfully designed to facilitate learning, exploration, and social interaction.
Surrounding the activity rooms are large verandas, providing covered outdoor play areas that seamlessly extend the learning environment outdoors. These verandas offer shade and protection from the elements, allowing children to engage in outdoor play and activities throughout the year. Emphasizing the importance of connecting with nature, the childcare centre features direct access to engaging outdoor nature play areas via the verandas.
In addition to the activity rooms and outdoor play areas, the centre includes amenities such as staff rooms, administration areas, kitchen facilities, and storage spaces. These facilities are designed to support the efficient operation of the centre while ensuring the comfort and well-being of staff and children.
The Archer Street childcare centre represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, offering a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can learn, play, and grow.
