Children, too precious for profit
Salamander Child Care Centre
The Centre incorporates the Early Years Framework, the national curriculum for children under 7, into our planning and play-based learning program.
The Centre is run on a “not for profit” basis because “children are too precious for profit”. We are run by a Management Committee which is comprised of volunteers from families enrolled in the Centre.
We pride ourselves on high quality care, which is achieved with highly trained staff and higher staff-child ratios.
The Centre has achieved an overall rating of ‘Exceeding National Quality Standards’ from the Department of Education and Communities.
The Centre operates from Monday to Friday between the hours of 7.30am and 6.00pm exclusive of Public Holidays.
