What do we do? |
Located in Prospect, South Australia, our not-for-profit centre provides a welcoming environment for up to 85 children each day across four purpose-built rooms.
Since our opening in 1994, we have continuously evolved to meet the needs of our community. From 2014 to 2016, the centre underwent significant renovations, enhancing our kitchen and bathroom facilities, adding a fourth learning space, and upgrading resource rooms for our dedicated Educators. We also revitalized the gardens surrounding each room, including a beautiful enhancement of our front community garden. Our Centre is guided by a Management Committee, which serves as the governing body with overall legal, financial, and managerial responsibility. As an incorporated entity under the Associations Act 1985, we operate in accordance with a constitution and are proud members of Community Children’s Centres SA, which provides invaluable support to community-based centres like ours. Day-to-day management, service provision, and administration are entrusted to our experienced Director. Our educational team includes two Early Childhood Teachers in our "Kindy" room - Whinham - for older children and Lead Educators in each of our three younger rooms. We are proud to have a team of highly qualified Educators, with over 80% holding a Diploma of Early Childhood Education or higher. |
At Prospect Community Early Education and Care, our mission is to provide quality care that supports every aspect of a child's development, meeting the needs of children, families, and the wider community.
We achieve this by offering a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive. We encourage social interactions, play-based learning, and exploration, all of which are essential for their growth and development. Our goal is to empower children to reach their full potential, complementing the care they receive at home. We are committed to supporting parents, caregivers, Educators, and the community as partners in this vital journey. Our goals are to foster:
