Acton Early Childhood Centre INC Child Care Service

The centre is licensed annually by the ACT Children's and Youth Services Bureau to cater for 54 children.

The allocation of child care places in the centre is as follows (age ranges are approximate):

• 12 Babies (6 weeks to 18 months)
• 5 in a Babies to Toddlers transition group
• 15 Toddlers (18 months to 3 years)
• 22 Pre-schoolers (3 years to 6 years)

When children reach the appropriate stage of development and are ready to move up to the next section, every effort is made to accommodate them as soon as spaces become available.

Each age-group has its own rooms in the centre; however, the older children have access to other areas, especially if wanting to visit siblings. Each group has a comprehensive programme that provides opportunity for the childrens' development in a caring environment.

Where possible babies are kept in their routines, and should mothers wish to continue breast feeding arrangements can be discussed with the staff.

We have been accredited by the National Childcare Accreditation Council, and the centre has been rated at the highest level of quality.
