Koala Early Learning and Childcare Centre at Warrnambool receives visits from their local Koori Pre School Field Officer.

Sensory activities incorporate smells, sounds and different textures to provide the children with sensory experiences, while also improving their fine motor skills and encouraging social engagement.
