About Us
About Community Children’s Centres
Our childcare centres are unique. Just as every child is unique, so is every Community Children’s Centre. However, while every centre is administered individually and has its own unique culture and character, we all follow the principles of ‘community based’ care. We focus on children, their families and communities, not on making a profit.
Through creating close partnerships, we nurture each child’s development in a circle of security where families feel comfortable, respected, supported and connected. We regularly share information about your child’s development. Families are welcome at our centres anytime. Community Children’s Centres believe that forming strong relationships with children and families is vital to every child’s learning and development. Our centres provide a safe environment and stimulating, positive experiences that foster all aspects of your child’s development.
Early Years Learning Framework
Each centre has a curriculum based on the Early Years Learning Framework for the ages 12 weeks to school age entry.
The Framework draws on conclusive international evidence that early childhood is a vital period in children’s learning and development. The Framework forms the foundation for ensuring that children in all early childhood and care settings experience quality teaching and learning.
Qualified and Experienced Professionals
Our staff are well qualified and dedicated to developing each child’s unique potential. Community Children’s Centres have high staff-child ratios and low staff turnover, meaning closer relationships and better continuity of care. We provide our staff with opportunities for continuing professional development.
A natural environment for learning and play
Each centre has a unique culture and character, as our centres are administered individually. We provide well-equipped outdoor areas and a warm, home-like atmosphere from carefully selected toys through to plentiful, nutritious food. Learning through fun and play is central to our philosophy.
