About the service
This family-owned and operated service, located in the heart of Clarindale, is an overall exceeding-rated service and caters to 100 children when they are at full occupancy.
The service boasts spacious natural surroundings and terrific indoor spaces adorned with natural elements where children can develop strength and self-confidence. Staff turnover is very low, with the average staff member being with the company for 5 to 20 years!
The centre's philosophy revolves around nurturing children's interests with warmth and care, encouraging empowerment through child-initiated experiences, and fostering strong connections with families and communities. With a mission to inspire and nurture everyone to achieve their full potential, the service prioritises quality, teamwork, and training opportunities and promotes a culture of recognition and reward.
Staff and families also benefit from a close connection to a nursing home just behind the centre. Children enjoy regular weekly visits from older people - a beautiful exchange of communication and a journey to be part of. The benefit of these visits for both the elderly residents and the children is so significant; apart from the evident joy and companionship that occurs, the children have the opportunity to develop empathy and respect for our elderly citizens, and older people gain a renewed enjoyment of life, have something to look forward to and can even have improved physical capabilities.
