About Childcare in Blacktown
Our Early Learning Centre at Blacktown is set within the heart of Blacktown CBD, being conveniently located within walking distance to Westpoint, Trains, Buses and Francis Park (aka Blacktown Showgrounds). Our centre offers long day care, welcoming children aged from six weeks to six years of age.
Our friendly team of educators provide a developmental portfolio for each child that documents their learning, interests and friendship groups. Highly qualified and experienced, they provide an individualised educational program that aims to meet the diverse needs of all children who attend. Parents are encouraged to participate in the program by volunteering at the centre and communicating the expectations for their child’s learning to the educators.
We offer an inclusive environment honouring diversity incorporating the use of first languages, cultural traditions and practices into our program. Our programs are designed to build on children’s home and community literacy experiences and includes literacy practices that are relevant to children’s everyday lives as well as familiar texts from their homes and communities.
