Communicare Sydney is a not for profit Christian charitable organisation providing quality services to the community for over 125 years. Currently we manage 15 child and family services across Sydney including Long Day Care Centres; Family Day Care Schemes; Preschools; an Occasional Care Centre; Supported Playgroup Services and a Family Support Worker Project.
Communicare Sydney Roslyn Hall Children's Centre provides a high quality care and education program for up to 51 children per day aged 2 to 6 years.
Hours of operation:
Our Centre is open 7:30am-6.00pm Monday to Friday, 49 weeks of the year. Our annual close down period occurs during the Christmas period for 4 weeks (no fees charged for this time).
Fees:
As a not for profit organisation, all fee and subsidy income Communicare Sydney receives is put back into improving the quality of the service provision.
Our fees are $69.50 per day. Fee relief or Child Care Benefit (CCB) is available through the Family Assistance Office for approved families.
Waiting list:
Currently we have a waiting list. Priority to fill vacancies is given following the Australian Government Priority of Access Guidelines. There is a $10 administration fee (non-refundable) to place your child on our waiting list.
Meals:
Our qualified cook provides meals in accordance with the NSW Department of Health Dietary Guidelines. Meals are nutritious and delicious and include morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.
Staff:
Staff have a range of qualifications and experience. Certificates of staff qualifications are displayed at the centre for you to see. We also pride ourselves here at Roslyn Hall on having a higher ratio of staff to children and more qualified staff than what is required by the NSW Children's Services Regulation.
Program:
Children are provided with a range of indoor and outdoor experiences throughout the day. We base children's learning through play and interest based activities that are developmentally appropriate for each child's age. Each class has a "day book" where you can read about what the children have done throughout the day. An individual portfolio is also provided for each child, where staff document your individual child's experiences and learning at the Centre.
Public Holidays:
We do not charge for Public Holidays or during the annual 4 week closedown period.
Viewing our Centre:
For more information about our service - parents and prospective parents are always welcome to come and view the centre; however we do suggest an appointment be made by new parents, to ensure that a staff member is available to show you through and answer any questions you may have.
