Glendhu Child Care Centre, formerly known as Glen Dhu Children’s Service, is dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education and care in a safe and inclusive environment. They prioritize fostering a sense of belonging and wellbeing among children, families, educators, and the community. The center values the uniqueness of each child, celebrating their individual interests, strengths, and abilities. Glendhu Child Care Centre advocates for the rights of the child and believes in establishing strong partnerships with families based on mutual understanding and respect.
With a rich history dating back to 1993, Glendhu Child Care Centre has evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of the community. Originally operating as a Play Centre and Playgroup program, the center transitioned to providing full-time care for children aged 2-7 years. Over time, they have expanded their services to include a room for children under 12 months old and an Early Learning Program for children aged 3-5 years. Their commitment to excellence is evident through their consistent high ratings in the National Quality Standards for Early Childhood and Care.
Under the leadership of Mel Reid, Glendhu Child Care Centre has maintained a strong focus on sustainability and community engagement. Their team of educators, carefully selected for their qualifications and commitment to early childhood education, work collaboratively to create nurturing and trusting relationships with the children. The center’s dedication to providing a supportive learning environment and promoting active citizenship among children reflects their core values and principles.
