Our new QEC Early Parenting Centre in Hastings is taking shape, providing expert support to help parents of children under four build confidence in key areas such as sleep, settling, feeding, and more.
Opening soon for families across the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding areas.
Construction is well underway at 185 High Street, with the foundations laid and the structure emerging from the ground.
The centre is designed to offer a safe, welcoming, and home-like environment for families.
Once complete, it will feature:
10 residential family rooms
4 day-stay rooms
Dining area
Playrooms and multi-purpose rooms
Outdoor play areas
The Hastings Early Parenting Centre will provide both short-term and longer-stay programs, ensuring that families receive the appropriate level of support for their unique needs.
We look forward to welcoming families to the Hastings Early Parenting Centre and continuing to support parents and caregivers in providing the best start for their children.
Stay tuned for more updates as we move closer to opening our doors!
