Creative Childcare Hunter Street is a family-owned child care centre for children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age in Newcastle West. With a focus on creativity, the centre’s walls are full of incredible paintings from local artists.
The inside of the centre is very welcoming with natural light that fills the large indoor and outdoor learning areas. As the centre has plenty of wide open spaces, it creates an open and airy feeling and sense of close community.
Outside in the purpose-built playground, the children can enjoy shady water play on the river beds, bike tracks, an obstacle course, balance beams, boats, sandpits, veggie gardens and chalkboards. You’ll notice even more amazing art on the walls here from talented local artists.
The centre opened in 2017 and is open daily from 7:00 am - 6:00 pm, 52 weeks a year. It is conveniently located just minutes from Newcastle Interchange, Hamilton Station, and the University of Newcastle. A carpark for the centre makes drop off and pick up times easy.
- Music program: specialised educators build on the children’s natural instincts to get involved with music in their everyday lives.
- Arts program: art can help to develop a child’s cognitive, social and motor skills in a fun and engaging way. Children build self-esteem when given open-ended access to various media such as clay, paint and craft.
- Dance program: dance gives the children the chance to express themselves, no matter their skill level. Dance helps to build coordination and memory and can help bring children out of their comfort zone.
- School readiness: to help children transition to primary school, this program builds on their social and emotional skills, as well as their literacy and numeracy.
