Red Cliffs Early Years Hub
This brand new facility will bring all of Red Cliffs’ early years services under the one roof - on the corner of Indi Avenue and Guava Street.
The existing kindergarten and Maternal and Child Health buildings are being replaced with a modern facility to meet the demand of the growing Red Cliffs community.
Key features include:
- Four kindergarten rooms which will allow twice as many local children to attend kindergarten programs in Red Cliffs
- Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and allied health consulting rooms
- Toy Library facilities
- Multi-use community space
- Breastfeeding room
- Large foyer area
An upgraded kindergarten playground and new community outdoor space will be provided as part of the project.
