Situated in a central location in Newcastle, The Hub Waratah is your child’s home away from home where from the moment you are greeted at the door by our warm and friendly staff, you are made to feel a part of our family and can sense the wondrous world of children’s imagination and self expression. We are passionate in educating and nurturing the children, promoting and expanding their individual abilities, and extending their interests.
Ashley Kennedy
WARATAH CENTRE DIRECTOR
Director’s Philosophy
I believe that children as so capable and confident in constructing their own learning throughout their early years journey and as educators we are here to support, encourage and provide every opportunity for these children to create their own stories. I believe it is important to encourage and promote community collaboration as this valuable input helps us to create a program that follows the interest of our children and creates inclusion within our service. As a director, I advocate for our children, providing them with nurturing and inspirational spaces where they can explore, learn and grow each day. I also believe in positively encouraging, supporting and guiding my team of educators to provide quality education and care in a nurturing environment.
Our Learning Space
Where wonder and awe collide, providing a world of imagination where children can express themselves freely and creatively through a range of activities and experiences. Our indoor spaces are warm and inviting, offering a sense of belonging, while our outdoor spaces provide opportunity for children to challenge themselves in a safe and secure environment. Each age group has their own yard, which is fully enclosed providing exceptional security.
