Our philosophy
The Lefroy Road Child Care Centre is a place where children, families and staff are treated as equal and valued individuals.
The centre will provide a warm, stimulating & caring environment to all people who use the centre, whether they be visitors, short term users, regular clients or staff. We always aim to create a welcoming atmosphere.
Children will be encouraged to develop to their full potential by being provided with high quality care that meets each childs' cognitive, physical and emotional needs and which incorporates a sense of belonging and all the positive aspects of family life.
The centre will encourage parents to participate in the running of the centre; the centre will incorporate their views in the design of programs and interactions of staff and children and maintain a respectful, vibrant & sharing relationship.
The centre will value the individual strengths of each member of staff and encourage staff stability by ensuring the work environment is positive, well directed and actively promotes the importance of staff development and ongoing training.
The centre will develop as a community resource in that it will become a place which is part of the fabric of community life, and will encourage community usage.

Our philosophy is to provide an enriching, caring, safe and FUN environment for children aged newborn to five years.
Our curriculum follows the Early Years Learning Framework, which nurtures children's interests, develops their strengths and helps them to become confident, individual learners. Our indoor and outdoor environments are well equipped, clean, spacious and age-appropriate. We have space for 47 children and keep our child-to-staff ratios low. This means your child has lots of personal attention. Being a community based and not-for-profit centre, we can focus on what is important in terms of caring for and providing for the children. All proceeds are retained in the centre and are used to purchase resources, upgrade equipment and promote staff development.
