Buderim Early Learning Centre Re-Opens Under New Management

There was a bit of a scare in the neighbourhood when Churches of Christ Care decided to let go of North Buderim Early Learning Centre, but all is well now as the centre officially re-opened under new management.

Churches of Christ Care exited operation of five day-care and kindergarten centres across Queensland. The five early learning facilities have since been acquired by Nambour Christian College (NCC) and will be operating as NCC Early Learners.

Aside from the Buderim centre, NCC will also be taking over childcare centres in Chinchilla, Kallangur, St George and Withcott.

The event is a happy outcome for families who have been worried about the future of the early learning centre.

Belinda Briggs, head of early learning, assures that there are only good things to come for the centre, which has been in limbo due to the threat of closure.

Aside from the change in signage and name, there will not be much change in the centre. The well-known learning environment at the centre is in line with the NCC’s program of providing education in a playful and stimulating environment.

Centre director Rhonda Braxton is elated with the community support that they have been getting. The Buderim centre is also fortunate not to have lost any of its staff.

The re-opened NCC Early Learners is located at 1-3 Lakeshore Ave, North Buderim. For more information, visit the centre’s website.
