About Us
We are a community based centre - that is we are a non-profit organisation managed by parents of children attending the Centre. This means that we are focused on doing the best we can for our families. The Centre is licensed for long day care 61 children from birth to six years old. The Centre is open Monday to Friday from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm and offers full-time, daily care. Approximately 90 children use the centre per week. The Centre has staff-children ratios higher than the minimum required by legislation and has a low turnover of staff. The Centre does not provide occasional day care. We put great value on the staff of the Centre working together with the parents in providing tailored eduction and care to each child (see the Learning page). The Centre is accredited with the National Childcare Accreditation Council . The Centre's services are eligible for Australian Government subsidies such as Child Care Benefit and the Child Care Tax Rebate. History of the Centre The Centre was
initially set up in
the mid 1980s, as part of the former Canberra Technical and Further
Education
system, now the Canberra Institute of Technology, providing care and
education for the children of students
and staff, and practical experience for students in child care
courses within the Institute. |
