Diagonal Road Community Child Care Centre

Welcome to Diagonal Road Community Child Care Centre, a well-established institution located in Sturt, Australia. Our center was first established by the Commonwealth Government on October 7th, 1985, and has since been providing high-quality care and education for children in our community.

At Diagonal Road Community Child Care Centre, we pride ourselves on our passionate and dedicated staff. Our team consists of educators who hold qualifications in either Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood), Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, or Certificate 3 in Children’s Services. With a history of long-term staff, we ensure a nurturing and caring environment for your child.

Our educators are committed to staying up to date with the latest practices in early childhood education and regularly engage in professional development opportunities. All staff members are trained in First Aid (Education and Care), ensuring a safe learning environment for all children.

We believe in providing a safe and secure environment where children can thrive. Our educational programs are inclusive of all children and are based on their individual interests. We also emphasize continuity of care to support your child's journey with us, employing high-quality professional educators and teachers to deliver educational programs.

In our center, children are encouraged to engage in play-based learning opportunities that foster their curiosity, creativity, and imagination. We recognize and value each child's cultural identity, abilities, and strengths. We also promote equity, cultural identity, inclusion, and diversity, with a special emphasis on acknowledging and valuing the Australian Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander culture.

We strongly believe that communication and collaboration between families and educators are fundamental to achieving quality outcomes for your child's learning and development. We encourage families to be actively involved in the governance of our community-based children's center.

Promoting a healthy lifestyle is important to us, and we provide nutritional meals that follow the Australian Dietary Guidelines. We also work together with children and their families to develop our understanding of environmental sustainability.

At Diagonal Road Community Child Care Centre, children are offered a curriculum that allows them to demonstrate their skills, knowledge, and dispositions through a range of engaging learning opportunities. We also organize incursions from local community groups throughout the year to expand children's knowledge and support their learning.

Our center aims to create a friendly and inclusive community where every person feels valued and accepted. We strive to provide a nurturing and caring environment that supports your child's growth and development. Join us at Diagonal Road Community Child Care Centre and become part of our extended family.
