Our Service Mission
Our Service Mission is to offer education and care for children that is inclusive, accessible, and responsive to the needs of families throughout the community and where every child will be supported to achieve their full potential.
Co-ordination Unit
The Coordination Unit is central to the operational functioning of the Service. It is the point of contact for family enrolment, referral and support as well as educator recruitment, training, resourcing, monitoring and support.

The hourly administration levy paid by families contributes to the cost of co-ordination unit services. We currently also receive financial support from the Australian Government through a competitive Community Child Care Fund grant.
Licensing
Our Management Committee is licensed as an Approved Service Provider by the regulatory authority, NSW Department of Education.
National Quality Standards
Education and Care Services are assessed against seven quality areas of the National Quality Standard (NQS). This assessment contributes to an overall rating. The system is designed to promote continuous improvement in quality for each service.
