Since the Centre commenced its operations back in 1977 it has continued to develop programs that are sensitive to the needs of both children and parents of English and non-English speaking backgrounds.
The Centre currently provides a multicultural program that encompasses the diversity of cultures, languages religions and child rearing practices within our society. The program also caters for the social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs of all children.

Furthermore, the program aims to reflect the needs of the whole group and is therefore flexible enough to respond to individual children's needs while focusing on their interests, strengths and abilities.


In addition, the program values the role of parents and encourages them to have an active role in decision making, both in regards to their child and the operation of the Centre. This is achieved mainly through an open exchange of information between staff and parents but also through the provision of a flexible program that accommodates parents' requirements and creates opportunities for dialogue and communication with staff, and involvement at all levels of management.

The Centre also aims to foster a sense of community and belonging within the centre by involving parents in the Centre's activities, and creating opportunities for parents to develop friendships and supportive arrangements between one another.
