About us – Christian Early Learning Centre
Integricare’s early learning centre at Northmead is located on the grounds of Parramatta Baptist church, and the long day care is directly supported by the churches ministry activities. The church contributes a Christian influence to the early learning and development of the children, with regular visitations from ministry staff as well as sharing in collaborative community events.
Our friendly team of educators have a passion for each child’s development and working closely with families. 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.
The children learn through play and interest-based activities that are developmentally appropriate for each child’s age. 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.
