About Our Centre

Trundle Children’s Centre is a not-for-profit, community incorporated organisation. We are managed by a voluntary committee, elected annually from parents and interested persons.

 

Trundle Children’s Centre is a dual service with preschool and long day care. The centre provides high quality education and care to all children aged 0 – 6 years. We provide a range of positive and stimulating experiences fostering all aspects of early childhood development.

 

Trundle Children’s Centre fundraises throughout the year to supplement the state and federal Government funding we receive.

 

At Trundle Children’s Centre, your child/ren will be provided with opportunities for learning aligned with the outcomes in the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).

 

An all inclusive, group dynamic creates a “family feel” to the environment at Trundle Children’s Centre, with children coming together for activities and play. The Joey’s Room caters for 0-3 year old children with age appropriate toys, learning activities and play. Our Boomers Room is for our 3-5 year old’s and has preschool program specifically designed to develop skills for school-readiness.

 

The Trundle Children’s Centre currently has a ‘Meeting NQS’ rating under the National Quality Standard. The National Quality Standard determines at what level the Trundle Children’s Centre meets the requirements of the Education and Care Services National Regulations and the Education and Care Services National Law. It is these Regulations and Law that govern the services provided by children’s centres and through assessments under this standard the Trundle Children’s Centre continuously plans for quality improvement.

 

The staff are looking forward to getting to know you and your child/ren by building a positive relationship with you enabling the educators to provide the best possible education and care for your child/ren through meeting your needs and expectations.

 

About Our Programs

The Trundle Children’s Centre provides a school-readiness program for children aged 3-5 years. This program is designed to provide opportunities for children to learn skills, strategies and gain exposure to activities preparing children for their transition to school. We are in continual contact with the Kindergarten teachers from both schools and believe our school readiness program is an invaluable asset to TCC.

 

The staff plan a daily program and observe the children in their care.  Their programs are designed to meet the needs and interests of the children.  Staff are trained to guide the children in their overall development.  Activities are designed to develop children’s cognitive, emotional, social, physical and self-help skills.
