Our program
Our Long Day Care service offers a school readiness program which assists each child to develop the foundations for lifelong learning, skills and abilities which gives them the opportunity to learn effectively. Our school readiness program challenges children and is based on the philosophy that children learn most effectively through play, which in turn encourages them to develop confidence and a sense of belonging.
Our Educational Program is developed based on each child’s interest and family input and we value each child as an individual with his/her own personality, family and cultural background and the diversity this brings to the centre.
In the early years, children learn important skills such as listening, consideration, negotiation, and reflection. Our programs support each child to gain more independence and enhances confident young minds.
We aim to provide children in our care with a happy and safe environment that supports the development of holistic nature and nurture of the children in our care.
Ana Kindergarten expansion
Auburn’s population is ever changing, and continues to rise each year, with many families requiring dual or supplemental incomes. As a result, families in our community require high-quality childcare while primary carers are at work.
The good news is, we have responded to this need and have now expanded our children’s services capacity from 54 children to 72 per day. We have proudly opened our new Pre-Kindy room in 2022.

We recognise the importance of maintaining your young ones home routine and we aim to ensure the transition into our care is as smooth as possible.

As toddlers, children are opening up to new challenges as their communication skills expand and they learn to concentrate, experiment and play. Our educators support this magical phase through a program of play-based learning activities to help them explore their own interests and strengths.

Our educators aim to support each individual child to have self-help skills, self-expression, express their ideas through art, literacy, natural and processed resources; nurture their decision making, resilience, language and social skills, build relationships, play collaboratively with peers, and learn about safety. This is to support children in their transition to school and helping them to develop positive disposition towards learning that they will carry on in their life.
