Bangalow Community Children's Centre

THE highest QUALITY OF CHILD CARE. We absolutely loved this centre. Both our children attended and so we attended this centre for just over six years.

How can we define “high quality”? This centre provided our family the following:
• The care providers are well trained
• The child-care center has an appropriate overall size and ratio of care providers to children. • The child–teacher ratio should be 10:1 or better.
• The curriculum of a child-care facility is carefully planned out and coordinated among the teachers. • The language environment is rich, with a great deal of conversation.
• The caregivers are sensitive to children’s emotional and social needs, and they know when and when not to intervene. • Materials and activities are age appropriate.
• Basic health and safety standards are followed.
• Children should be screened for vision, hearing, and health problems.
