why choose the Gawler Riverside ELC?
We are a family owned and run centre that offers flexibility to families to help adjust bookings to meet short term needs. Our homely environment wraps it’s arm around you and your child.
We offer many smaller play spaces for children to explore rather than large overcrowded rooms and our challenging outdoor spaces focus on natural experiences and opportunities for children to challenge themselves and experience their own failure supported by a warm and caring team dedicated to their success.
As a smaller service our families and our team don’t get lost and become just numbers as can happen in the much larger corporate services available. We recognise that young children are precious and deserve the care and attention that is our focus.
