The new early learning centres will benefit our communities, the families and Childcare professionals in our centres, along with our commercial partners. As a private operator with a strong balance sheet, we have the flexibility to take a boutique and green sustainable approach to the development of our Childcare sites. Our designs evolve to reflect the highest industry standards in technology, Childcare licence compliance and green sustainable building practices. This unique environmentally friendly approach recognises the important role we have in guiding and teaching children how to protect and honour our natural world for future generations. Our builds are created with years of consolidated experience to ensure functionality, longevity of all structural components and outstanding design elements. This helps to maintain building value while providing the perfect childcare environment. Innovative features such as our parent lounge's in each centre to help enhance the sense of community in our centres. Our lounges, together with creating custom play areas in safe natural environments, are just some of the ways Green Leaves is responding to the ever-changing needs of our communities.
