Welcome to Harrison Early Childhood Centre! We’re so glad to have you with us. Our centre is a safe place where children feel nurtured, and empowered to explore, learn, and grow. We believe in building strong, caring relationships with families and working together to support every child’s unique journey. Our dedicated and experienced educators and teachers can’t wait to get to know you and your little one.
I’m Abby, the Centre Manager at Harrison Early Childhood Centre, with experience in the early childhood sector since 2013. I’ve worked in various roles supporting children, families, and educators. I’m passionate about creating warm, safe and trusting environments and believe that strong, respectful relationships are the foundation for meaningful learning and development.

Our son has improved and learned a lot since joining HECC. We love reading all their consistently updated learning activities. The educators have always been so nice, kind and genuinely cares for the development and wellbeing of the kids. The center is always clean and the food menu are really good too.
Our two kids have been attending Northside Harrison for several years and we are very happy with the service. We are confident they are in a safe and secure environment. Meals are healthy, and the kids always eat them (even when they're picky at home). The educators are patient and professional. We're frequently impressed with the skills and lessons the kids bring home. Highly recommended.
I’ve had two of my kids cared for at this centre, one just in the preschool and one has gone from older nursery and is in older toddlers now. My children feel loved and cherished. The rooms are homey, inviting and eclectic. It’s not Instagram chic as the toys are well used from lots of play, with lots of colours, often sourced from op-shops which I love the sustainability of. The educators are caring and engaged. They’re always very quick to notify me even of minor injuries and flexible to meet the goals of the family (eg toileting or sleep preferences). It’s super helpful that it’s next to the public school and often my little one can see her older siblings playing on the oval and say hello. I get the sense the educators are valued and have a say in the learning of the children as each brings different ideas/activities/songs/routines to the children’s day that enriches their learning. I have no hesitation to recommend this centre to new families. Also one of the more affordable centres around Gungahlin.
Our family has had a wonderful experience with the centre. The staff are incredibly welcoming, informative and kind. They listened to our needs and were sensitive to the fact that we had just moved to Canberra!
