Our child care centres have been synonymous with high quality, professional early childhood care and education since 1993 when Robyn Briggs and her family purposely designed and built their first care and education centre. Since then the organisation has grown to three centres; all the while ensuring, through experienced management and dedicated early childhood educators, that the centres remain committed to nurturing and supporting the individual needs and values of each child and their family.   

At each centre high quality care and education for every child in their formative years (including the Kindergarten Year) is a priority; as is creating a safe, healthy and welcoming environment and responsive, respectful relationships. 

Each of the three centres are as unique as their individual environments and community (educators and families).

Carina Heights Child Care & Development has been owned and operated by the Briggs Family since 1999.
