Co Star Early Learning Centre is located next to Glenfield Primary School. The existing 1960's bungalow has been moved on the site and converted into a modern functional centre, with a well planned layout and footprint. The entire site has been landscaped to create a functional, user friendly environment.
The easy flow and connectivity between the indoor and outdoor play areas, make a fun and safe place for children and staff.
The client has spared no expense on the interior fitout and the whole building is distinctly bright and welcoming. Indoor spaces include children's playrooms, staff administration, storage, kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities.
The final result is a well designed childcare centre which is an asset to the neighbouring community.
