Welcome to Welly Rd Kids where “Your Child is Our Focus”

Welly Rd was opened on January 24th 2005.

The building was built especially for the sole purpose of establishing a child care facility that could provide the best Quality Care for children in the Adelaide Hills, and we believe we have achieved this.

Come in and meet the incredible staff who are responsible for making Welly Rd such a fantastic place to be.

Let your children experience all the fun activities we have to offer and for them to be a part of creating their own learning environments.

Children learn through play and we do a lot of that at Welly Rd.
Our staff will nurture your children by helping them to build relationships that will guide them into feeling a sense of belonging at Welly Rd. While being involved with the activities and projects that make up our curriculum, the children will learn to question themselves and their own outcomes. The children will start to identify their own capabilities as they begin their life’s journey in becoming their own self.

Location

Welly Rd is situated at 46 Wellington Road, Mt. Barker, across from the Mt Barker Fodder Store. The property borders the old railway line and is set back off the road to include the Centre carpark.
