Officer welcomed its brand-new childcare centre as Pakenham MP Emma Vulin officially opened Toun-nun Child and Family Centre.
Mayor Cr Jack Kowarzik, Cr Tammy Radford and Cr Jeff Springfield joined the opening on Monday 19 August with children beginning their early education in the first year of the new centre.
Completed at the start of this year, the new centre was built to accommodate the many young families in the rapidly-growing Officer township.
With four kindergarten rooms as well as maternal child health and allied health services, the centre provides 132 kinder placements.
Many of the little ones enjoying the facility now may go to Officer’s latest school, Kurmile Primary, which is just next door as they were both built together on Fairweather Parade.
Next year, Pakenham is set to welcome its latest childcare centre off Thewlis Road.
Recently named Boollam Boollam Child and Family Centre, the facility will accommodate the same number of kinder placements and will be complete at the same time and next door to the Pakenham North West Primary School.
