Coming Soon: ‘open House’ at the Infants’ Home in June 2025
Meet our Team, Discover our Expertise, See our Programs
Join us at The Infants’ Home this June for a month of events and information sessions for families.
From 3 to 20 June we are holding a range of informal, welcoming events to help families learn about The Infants’ Home, pick up some top tips on child learning and development and meet our team of educators and allied health therapists.
The mix of short morning and afternoon activities will include information and meet and greet sessions with our team, tours of our childcare services and drop in-play sessions on our main lawn supported by our educators and allied health staff.
If you’re looking for childcare now or in the future, want some parent-friendly information on child learning and development, and want to meet other families in the community, our free Open House sessions will tick all the boxes.
We will be opening bookings for our Open House sessions soon and will provide further information and booking links on our website and social media pages.
