    Overview

    Located on the TAFE NSW Wetherill Park campus, our Children's Centre provides a nurturing and engaging environment for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. With a spacious outdoor play area featuring a fort, cubbyhouse and lots of equipment, children can explore, imagine and play freely.

    Our large garden offers practical learning experiences, allowing children to grow their own plants while discovering nature and sustainability. Inside, the centre has two dedicated rooms: one for infants and toddlers (0-3 years) and another for preschoolers (3-6 years), ensuring age-appropriate care and activities.

    About us

    Our educators are highly skilled, dedicated to ongoing professional development, and bring diverse backgrounds, experiences and expertise. We are committed to building trusting relationships with children and families to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment.

    Sensory play is a key part of our approach, helping children explore the world through touch, sight, smell and sound. These activities support motor skill development, language growth and problem-solving abilities in a fun and engaging way.

    We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all children, including those with additional needs, can fully participate in our programs. Our educators take a holistic approach to inclusion, ensuring every child feels valued and supported. They tailor learning experiences to match and extend each child’s abilities, strengths, and interests, fostering a sense of belonging and engagement.

    A typical day

    Play, learn and grow

    Each day is filled with engaging experiences designed to support children's growth and development. Activities may include water and sand play, block building, music and movement, language exploration, arts and crafts, science experiments and imaginative play.

    Environments that inspire

    Our learning environments are thoughtfully designed to nurture each child's social, emotional, physical and language development. Children are grouped based on age or developmental stage, with tailored programs that extend their learning, support their needs and incorporate their interests.

    The magic of play-based learning

    We embrace a play-based learning approach, blending intentional teaching with spontaneous learning moments. Whether in small or large group activities, children are encouraged to explore, discover and develop essential skills in a fun and supportive setting.

    What our parents say

    Documents needed

    To submit your application, you will need to provide:

    • Birth certificate 
    • Medicare card 
    • Health care/Pension card (if you have one) 
    • Immunisation record (must be through Medicare, blue books are not accepted). 

    Please note: Children must meet government immunisation requirements or have an approved exemption to be eligible for Child Care Subsidy (CCS)

    How to enrol

    There are five steps to complete enrolment:

    1. Apply for Child Care Subsidy (if eligible) – To be confirmed between the Early Childhood Director (ECD) and parents/guardians.
    2. Agree on care arrangements – The ECD and parent/guardian confirm the child’s care details.
    3. Submit enrolment – The ECD submits an enrolment notice to Centrelink via HubHello.
    4. Confirm enrolment – The parents/guardians verify the enrolment with Centrelink.
    5. Secure enrolment –  If you accept an offer, we’ll send a formal letter detailing the next steps. This includes submitting a birth certificate, proof of immunisation and a security deposit to secure your childcare placement.

    Once the enrolment is completed and approved your entitlements can be calculated, and payments made. If there are no vacancies, we can add you to the waiting list. 

    Under Family Assistance Law, all children attending an early learning centre must have an enrolment notice, regardless of CCS eligibility. For eligible families, Centrelink/Services Australia can only process CCS claims once the correct enrolment is in place.
