About Us
Your Child is in Great Hands
Who We Are
Coonamble Children’s Services is a community-owned child care service that has been operating in the community for the past 35 years to provide high quality care, with child-base programs and after-school care.
We aim to provide a balanced and relaxed learning environment, where children are given the opportunity to play, discover and develop at their own rate and level.
We operate Monday to Friday, 7:45am – 5:30pm for children aged 6 weeks until 5 years, and our after school is 6 – 12 years.
Places are available for Full Day, School Hours and After School Care.
Health & Safety
At Coonamble Childrens Services, we endeavour to meet all possible needs of the children in our care. We aim to achieve this by providing a welcoming, caring, safe, supportive, and stimulating environment.
We encourage all children to actively explore their environment and support them to form and develop trusting relationships with other children and educators.
Children
We encourage all children to actively explore their environment and support them to form and develop trusting relationships with other children and educators. We strongly promote numerous opportunities for play. We believe play is valuable in all aspects of a child’s development and recognise the importance of children being actively involved and engaged in a variety of learning experiences. We believe a child’s learning should be supported and encouraged through positive interactions and discussions with the child’s family on a regular basis. We aim to provide a balanced and relaxed learning environment, where children are given the opportunity to play, discover and develop at their own rate and level.
Educators
Our Service is made up of a team of high-quality professional educators who are committed to and passionate about early childhood education and care. Our staff promote the human rights, safety and wellbeing of all children and consider and respect the diverse backgrounds and needs of children.
We create an environment that promotes and enables children’s participation and is welcoming, culturally safe and inclusive for all children and their families.
Our educators are continually evaluating how our curriculum meets the educational and wellbeing needs of our children and reflecting on ways to improve children’s learning and development and are supported by a team of highly qualified professionals.
Families
We work in partnership with our families. We support and encourage communication with your child’s educators about your child’s unique needs and their general enjoyment of their day at our Service. Our Service has an Open-Door Policy and actively seeks and encourages families to be involved in the Service. This can range from evaluating and adding input to your child’s program and observations, volunteering within the Service and sharing skills and experiences that the children and the program will benefit from and providing feedback. You can be involved in our committee, if you wish.
