First Steps Count Child and Community Centre is not only a unique integrated hub providing access to a range of services and coordinating programs for children and families but a beautiful safe place for the community achieving the aim of ‘Children first in everything we do’.
The families and staff at First Steps Count Child and Community Centre are so fortunate to benefit from this most beautiful building intentionally designed by the architect and lovingly built by the builder. Working in collaboration with the design and building team, including extensive engagement with the community, we have achieved the goal of a building that meets not only the physical requirements for families but a space that is beyond what we could ever imagine: a calm, beautiful, exceptional place for our community focussing on our most important aim “Children First in Everything We Do.”
