Kalkee Road Children's & Community Hub

The Kalkee Road Children’s and Community Hub - which is currently being constructed on a green field site in Horsham North - will provide Horsham and district residents with integrated children's and family services from a brand new, purpose-built venue.

The 1,120 (approx) square metre building is set to become a central community hub with a range of health, education and support services all available under the one roof.

The new building will offer a range of services including Maternal and Child Health Nurses, long day care and sessional kindergarten. Other services in the hub may include supported playgroup, toy library, visiting specialists and early intervention services.

The design of the facility combines a range of multi-use areas including:
* A large multipurpose space - will have regular scheduled use for playgroups, toy library and immunisation sessions and will also provide a community shared space available for booking for activities such as community meetings and events, business conferences, training sessions and young parents groups.
* Consulting/interview rooms, a meeting room and shared working space, three interview and consulting rooms and a large shared work space to be used by Maternal and Child Health Services and a range of services new to the Horsham North area such as private professional services, early childhood intervention/allied health services; parenting groups; counselling services; and adult education programs.
* Reception/Administration - public amenities including accessible and baby change facilities.
* Children’s Services - delivered in four rooms of varying sizes, with an overall licence for 93 children. The rooms are adjoining and designed to open up for group activities and special events. Programs delivered will include kindergarten and child care.
