Seaton Community Child Care Centre 37 Glenburnie Street, Seaton, South Australia 5023

Welcome to Seaton Community Child Care Centre, located at 37 Glenburnie Street in Seaton, Australia. Our non-profit, community-based center is managed by a dedicated committee of parents who are committed to providing a warm, inviting, and high-quality experience for you and your child.

At Seaton Community Child Care Centre, we are licensed to care for up to 52 children per day, ranging in age from 6 weeks to school age. Our center is conveniently located next to Seaton High School and boasts a spacious and exciting outdoor area. With plenty of shade and room to learn and develop skills, our outdoor space provides endless opportunities for exploration and play.

One unique feature of our center is our Kitchen Garden, where children actively participate in planting, maintaining, and harvesting fruits and vegetables. These fresh produce are then incorporated into our delicious and balanced meals, following the guidelines set by Nutrition Australia. We provide morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, snacks, and drinks to promote healthy eating habits for young children. Our goal is to meet 50% of a child's daily nutritional requirements while they are in our care. We also accommodate specific mealtime requirements through consultation with families, our cook, and other professionals.

At Seaton Community Child Care Centre, we believe that natural environments foster open-ended interactions and stimulate children's imaginations. A simple log can become a boat or a bus, taking children on imaginary adventures. Our natural surroundings also provide opportunities to learn about sustainability and develop a deeper connection with nature.

We take pride in our children's involvement in growing their own vegetables in our garden. Additionally, we have a large covered outdoor area for children to enjoy during inclement weather. Sun safety is a priority, and we provide sunscreen and suitable hats for all children. We follow the guidelines set by the Cancer Council to ensure the well-being of our children throughout the year.

Our curriculum is influenced by current educational theories, including Attachment Theory, Circle of Security, Marte Meo, and Primary Caregiving. We base our learning program on the Early Years Learning Framework. With highly qualified educators who have a combined experience of over 185 years in the field, we strive for continuous improvement and best practices in our center.

At Seaton Community Child Care Centre, we prioritize building relationships and creating an environment that supports each child to feel safe and secure. We are responsive and nurturing, recognizing the critical role of these factors in a child's overall development. We focus on the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social health of each child, working in partnership with families to provide education and care that aligns with their individual needs and interests.

Effective communication between children, families, and educators is highly valued at our center. This allows us to identify the strengths of each child and educator, enabling us to enhance their development to the fullest extent.
