TAFE NSW has 15 inclusive Children's Centres across NSW. These centres provide long day care and a welcoming space for children’s learning and play.
All TAFE NSW Children’s Centres follow the National Early Years Learning Framework.
This framework focuses on:
nurturing children's sense of self
developing their sense of belonging
encouraging ongoing development.
Our play-based learning programs are designed to spark children’s imagination in a positive environment where they are encouraged to play together.
This enables children to:
build confidence
develop socialisation skills
express and explore their ideas
engage with the ideas of others.
Our programs also help prepare children to adapt to the school environment more easily.
All TAFE NSW Children’s Centres are licensed under the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority regulations.
Each centre undergoes the full licensing process and is issued with an individual licence.
TAFE NSW early childhood educators tailor practical teaching to meet the individual needs of the children in our care.
We value collaboration with families in the educational process and provide enriching and stable environments that foster joy, growth and development.
Our teams are what set TAFE Children’s Centres apart. Discover more below and consider a fulfilling and rewarding experience or career path.
TAFE NSW’s Children’s Centres include communal spaces where children of all ages are encouraged to safely play together.
Our facilities include:
As children play together, they learn to socialise with one another, developing their confidence and empathy, as well as negotiation and social skills.
