Forbes Children's Centre

Forbes Children’s Centre for Early Childhood Development and Parenting is a new integrated early years service in which early childhood professionals, other professionals, families and the local community work together to meet the needs of children and families.

Children’s Centres support children’s development, health, learning and wellbeing. Forbes Children’s Centre offer programs and services for families in partnership with Inner Southern Community Health; Children, Youth and Women’s Health Service; Disability SA; Health SA; Families SA and other organisations and agencies identified through discussions with the community and families.

Forbes Children’s Centre provides a caring, inclusive and welcoming environment where children can engage in their learning and families can access a range of services to meet their needs or participate in a variety of programs.

Forbes Children’s Centre is situated on the site of Forbes Primary School. Harcourt Gardens Preschool relocated to the new premises in October 2010. The community based long day care child care centre was operational from January 2011.
