Value for money in a warm, caring, educational environment. Fully accredited.
Deciding who to leave your child with is a big decision. You must feel confident. You want the very best for your child.
Our Community Child Care Centre endeavours to satisfy the needs of both you and your child. We aim to ensure that parents feel their child is happy and secure with people they can trust.
Staff and parents get to know each other well by working together to develop policies that are acceptable to all families. We encourage an open door policy which allows parents to participate in or observe the educational programme if they wish.
Our centre is family orientated and our philosophy is to provide a small, homely environment where families feel comfortable, brothers and sisters can see each other through the day and the children know all the staff well.
Goodna Community Childcare Centre maintains a High Quality Child Care, accessible to everyone in the community. As a non-profit organization run by a Parent Committee, we genuinely care about our families and staff. We encourage parental participation and view parents as important assets.
Parent Managed means families elect a committee of parents and staff who have their say in the centre philosophy, provision of care, nutritious meals, major equipment expenditure, facilities and deciding on policies for the benefit of everyone.
Goodna Community Child Care is Best Value for Money when you know that all your fees are spent on providing for your child’s care and education.
