The team worked together to design the custom-built multi-purpose centre in the middle of Kirrawee Shopping Village in January 2020, housing 8 therapy spaces and the vibrant, colourful co-work/creative learning space. Our unique centre facilitates joy, comfort, self-care and great team-bonding opportunities - with playful and colourful interior design, full accessibility with ramps and an internal passenger lift, and a massive variety of arts and crafts materials, educational and therapeutic resources and equipment, and of course - heaps of toys and games!
Located conveniently opposite Kirrawee Train Station, central within the Sutherland Shire, and just off the Princess Highway therefore also servicing families from the St George and Illawarra regions. At our doorstep, we are blessed with a plethora of cafes/restaurants and retail shops, with Aldi, Coles and Woolworths just around the corner.
