Children's Centres (Long Day Care)
We operate four long day care centres which provide daily and weekly care for children up to six years of age. The children's centres operate between 7am and 6pm from Monday to Friday. These services provide families with quality educational programs in a safe and caring environment. Children can attend these centres on either a full time or part time basis and the Child Care Benefit is available for eligible residents.
The four children's centres are:

Anti-bias Curriculum in Child Care Policy
In our child care centres we practice anti-bias policy. It promotes environment, which encourages non-discriminatory behaviour towards children of other race, religion, language, looks and other aspects of life. Our Council is considered to be the best practice model in this area. Early Childhood Services at our centres support children in their home language. For more information contact 9789 9400.
