The Family and Children’s Centres will close at 6pm on Thursday 19th December and reopen at 7am on Wednesday 8th January 2025. Maternal and Child Health appointments continue during this time.

Nestled into the Graham Road end of the Roy Dore Reserve, Carrum Family & Children’s Centre delivers a state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor learning environment.

The Centre includes intimate indoor spaces that have been designed to nurture children and inspire a love of learning.

The outdoor environment is considered just as important for children’s learning experiences and as such it is designed to encourage exploration.

The local park, vegetation, playground and sporting areas of Roy Dore Reserve also serve as a wonderful asset that are regularly utilised by the children.
