Redfern Child Care
From 6 weeks to 6 years
This licensed centre is staffed by qualified and experienced workers and provides occassional care for children between 6 weeks and 6 years of age. The children are grouped by age into 3 different playrooms.
Our program is based on the national Early Years Learning Framework, which focuses on children's interests, strengths and individual needs. Our educators work closely with the children to develop a play-based program that is enriching and encourages collaborating with peers, making choices while building on their strengths and emerging skills. The experiences we offer foster children's social, creative, language, cognitive and physical skills.
The centre is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm. Bookings can be made up to 2 weeks in advance (based on availability) when you have an appointment to attend, shopping to do, or simply need a break from parenting. At least 24 hours notice must be given for cancellations otherwise fees are still payable, even if you or your child is sick.
We are closed on public holidays, staff development days and for a short period over the Christmas and New Year break.
