Who you'll meet

Brittany Conroy, Campus Manager

“Childcare is far more than supervising children. It is about creating places where children feel valued.”

I have been working in the childcare and early learning sector for the past 14 years, and in that time I have developed a genuine passion for supporting children through the most important stages of their early development.

One of the most rewarding parts of this work is the relationships and trust built over time. I love watching children reach important milestones, whether that is learning to communicate, building confidence, developing social skills, or becoming more independent in their everyday routines.

Every child brings something different, and being able to support their individual strengths, interests and abilities is what makes this work meaningful to me. I also value the partnerships we build with families, because working together creates a better environment for everyone.

The neighbourhood

An easy stop between Kingscliff and the highway

Waugh Street is off the Tweed Valley Way, which makes drop-off simple whether you are heading into Kingscliff, Tweed Heads or north over the border.

Chinderah families come from Kingscliff, Chinderah, Fingal Head, Banora Point, Tweed Heads South and Casuarina. For anyone commuting to the Gold Coast, we are on the right side of the river.

The campus backs onto the quiet end of the flats, so the walk to green space is short and the traffic noise stays out on the highway.

Is Chinderah the same program as Cabarita?

Is Beach Kids Chinderah convenient for Kingscliff families?
