About Us

“Our Centre Is Here To Help Your Childcare Experience Be As Easy As Possible…”

Le Fevre Community Children’s Centre is not for profit, community-owned and run Child Care Centre. We provide care for up to 54 children across 4 rooms and provide transport to and from Our Lady of the Visitation Pre-school every day.

Our centre is divided into 4 rooms:

  • Babies 0-18 months (non-walkers)

  • Toddlers 18 months-2.5 years

  • Kardi (emu) and Pirlta (possum) 2.5-5 years

We value and respect childhood as an important time in a person’s life and should be valued and respected. It is a time where children should be able to play, build friendships, explore, question, investigate and have fun.

We have a large outside area with lots of natural spaces for children to explore and programs that are lead by children’s interests and inquiry.

We have a small and committed team and many of our Educator have been with us for 10+ years and we have a very low turnover, which means you’ll have the same people looking after your children each day.

Our Educators demonstrate a strong commitment not just to the children, but to their families, the centre and the community that we serve. 

Communication underpins quality care and we use a range of tools to provide parents with daily information, including communication books, portfolios, floor books and regular verbal discussion.

Our centre is managed by a committee made up of parents, educators and dedicated community members. This connectedness to our community means that we understand and listen to the needs of the community.

Our Centre

  • BABIES

    Our babies room is a small
    and intimate environment where educators and babies can be in close proximity to one another.

    We can cater for up to 8 babies aged 6 weeks – 18 months.

    Routine, meals, sleep and
    comfort are built around
    individual needs and educators work hard to mimic
    home routines.

  • TODDLERS

    Our very busy toddler room is filled with 12, 18 month – 2.5-year-old children.

    This age group love to move, and we meet this need by providing lots of space and opportunities to be outside.

    Activities are set up that allow for this group to “do it myself”, supporting children’s emerging autonomy.

  • 2.5-5yrs Kardi (Emu) and Pirlta (Possum)

    Our 2.5-5 Preschool space involves all of us sharing the same resources and spaces, engaging in mixed-age grouping. This approach promotes peer scaffolding opportunities for all children to benefit from day to day.  Each space has a group program with a wide range of planned learning experiences and opportunities.
