Learning & Care
At our centre we offer the following services:
Child Care
Long day care is available Monday to Friday for children from birth until the child begins school. Children are able to attend half, full day or school hour sessions and can also book casual hourly care. Whilst we develop and maintain relationships between children and staff in age specific rooms, we also aim to provide many opportunities for children to interact with older and younger children. The long day care and preschool educators team work closely to ensure continuity where children access both programs.
There are three rooms:
There are three rooms:
The Baby Room (0-2 years)
The Toddler Room (2-3 years)
Junior Kindy (3 years until school age)
We offer an integrated child care and preschool program.
The long day care program operates between 6:00 am and 6:30 pm. Parents are required to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to pick up to allow staff to share information about their child’s day. All children and parents need to leave the Centre no later than 6.30pm in the evening as this is when the Centres licence for Long Day Care finishes.
Community Engagement
Our Community Development Co-ordinator plans many groups and services for the site that are open to families who attend the long day care/preschool programs but also the wider community. Check the Centres Program for a full list of all the things on-site available to local families.
