About the Centre

Abacus Child Care and Education Centre is Communities at Work’s largest early education and care service. Our thoughtfully designed spaces and smaller group sizes enable us to build strong relationships with our children and families. Our team understand that a well-constructed space has the power to inspire creativity and imagination and our newly renovated playgrounds provide many such opportunities for our children.
