The Centres:
Junior Einsteins Nurturing Centre – Shell Heights is our newest service, operating since July 2023, focusing on creating an inclusive environment for all our children. This current state of the art centre is opened 52 weeks a year, catering for 125 children per day, aged 6 weeks – 6 years of age, from 6:30am – 6:30pm, Monday to Friday, closed on public holidays. Our new service consists of a 4-room centre, each with their own specially designed outdoor spaces with an additional 3 extra-curricular rooms to further extend upon children’s learning; our creative Art Studio, the Children's Library and the Kid's Kitchen/ Science Lab.
Junior Einsteins Nurturing Centre – Blackbutt and Junior Einsteins Nurturing Centre - Flinders have been established within the Shellharbour region since 2007 & 2010,



providing the children with a collaborative environment in our one room centre. Our Blackbutt and Flinders services are opened 50 weeks a year, closing for 2 weeks over the Christmas break. These services cater for 33 children per day, from the ages of 2 to 5 years, with opening hours from 7:30am – 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, closed on public holidays.
