Windsor Community Children's Centre

My daughter has been attending WCCC since 2022, and our time here has been excellent. The educators and staff are skilled and care about their work: the children are treated with respect, and their emotional well-being is first and foremost. Learning and development objectives are agreed upon with families for each term, and progress reports are sent at the end of each cycle. Their program includes an anti bias curriculum, risk play, cooking lessons in French with the Centre's chef (you get treats to bring home!), bush kinder activities, and a Reconciliation and connection to Country plan. The Centre has a beautiful and expansive garden that the children can access every day, which is rare in such a densely developed area. They can play with water, sand, and mud, so definitely one has to be prepared for the washing! They are currently rated as exceeding the national standards for early childhood education (ACECQA framework). We were shortly at a different centre before starting at WCCC, and that has given us perspective on what a remarkable space and experience is offered here. The highlight for us is the focus on the children's growth as capable and collaborative members of our society, and on creating a connected community for their families.
