Ernabella Anangu Child Parent Centre

Located in Pukatja (formerly Ernabella), nestled within the remote and culturally rich Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands of South Australia, the Ernabella Anangu Child Parent Centre is a vital community hub dedicated to early childhood development and family support. The centre embodies a warm, community-centric, and culturally nurturing environment.

What makes it special is its commitment to providing integrated services for children from birth to school age and their families. Programs foster early learning, holistic health, and overall wellbeing, deeply embedding Anangu culture and language. It actively supports parents in their essential role as first educators, focusing on cultural preservation, strong community connections, and pathways to education.

Families in the APY Lands cherish the centre for its culturally appropriate support, engaging early learning programs, and access to essential health services. It creates a safe and stimulating environment where children can thrive and grow, simultaneously connecting families to vital resources and robust community networks. It's a place where families feel genuinely understood, supported, and empowered, reinforcing their Anangu language and traditions.
