About Childcare Rockdale Plaza

Our Early Learning Centre at Rockdale Plaza is conveniently located below the Shopping Centre with access through the Centre’s carpark. 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.

Why Choose Integricare?

At Integricare we are committed to providing exceptional learning and care for your child. Families trust their children to us because:

We are inclusive

We welcome all families from various backgrounds, diverse cultures and many faiths.

We are not-for-profit

Our commitment to excellence is driven by exceptional educational outcomes first and foremost, without compromising our need to also operate a business responsibly.

Of our staff

Our families consistently rate our passionate educators highly, who are known for going the extra mile for children.

We see parents as first educators

We believe that families are children’s first educators and that our role is to work closely with them as co-educators.

Our size is just right

Our network of early learning centres is not so extensive that we are too large, and we are not so small that we don’t have the resources to provide an excellent learning environment. We have a healthy balance that easily enables the sharing of knowledge amongst our network of educators, which translates into the quality of our programs.

Of our Christian identity

We have a strong Christian ethic and a rich history, having served families since 1882. It’s in our DNA to reflect the Christian faith in a way that is valued by families.

Read our family testimonials

We have been at 4 other centres around the area before and Integricare Rockdale Plaza is the best. Excellent services & amazing carers/educators. I can’t thanks enough Integricare Rockdale Plaza staff for wonderful cares for my kids last 6 years. They learnt so much & had many good memories there. My kids miss all the carers and want to come visit them when Covid restriction is over. Thanks so much Verna, Nicole, Jessica & all the educators there. Highly recommended.

Prajwal

Beautiful, caring educators who are experienced and well trained. All 3 of my kids have attended Integricare at Rockdale Plaza over the past 6 years. The staff go above and beyond for the kids. The location is super convenient in the car park below the Plaza and the yard space is awesome.

“So happy my work colleague recommended your day care centre to me a few months ago! You are all so very kind, responsive and gentle educators. My son had separation anxiety as well as he had a really bad experience at another daycare centre. You all have been so supportive and professional throughout, catering to my sons needs. My toddler really loves going to your centre as he feels safe and secure. Thank you for all that you do, you are all wonderful and make us all happy knowing that we can leave him with you and he will have a fantastic day.”

Lena

“We’ve been at the centre for over a year and a half and are impressed by the level of care given by the team. The educators pay close attention to the children’s interests and program meaningful and fun learning experiences for them. The team always make special events memorable for the children. They love a good celebration! The team communicate regularly with parents and take feedback on board. They’ve navigated the tricky times of the pandemic with grace and professionalism.

Athena

The level of care and love the educators provide is not only towards the children under their care, but extends to the families of the children. The teachers constantly go out of their way to ensure we are all looked after.

Educators are very caring and nurturing. I feel confident leaving my child with educators even when he is upset with separation anxiety.

We would like to thank you for all your hard work, support and encouragement that you have given in the rainbow group. My son loved every minute of preschool and always came home full of enthusiasm and stories to tell. I want to take the opportunity to say “thank you” for your kindness, friendly behaviour, patience and discipline.

Parent from Integricare Strathfield, 2018

Thanks for letting us know about our child’s development at Integricare. We also appreciate the observation notes you’ve provided regarding her speech. We are so grateful that she has such a patient and companionate teacher. You really put the “care” in “daycare”. Please extend our thanks to the team for all the wonderful things you’ve taught our daughter.
