At the foot of the Blue Mountains, along the river, lives a community with a can-do attitude, who enjoy the outdoors, are open to ideas, and value family.
When our people seek care for their children, they pursue safe, active, positive and grounded services that provide a homely environment.
The educators and team who provide these services are invested in the long-term growth and development of children – their needs are met with care and professionalism, because we know that engaged, supported and loved children make for productive and positive adults.
Within a nurturing and supportive community, children and their families can grow and thrive.
The National Quality Standard (NQS) sets the benchmark for the quality of education and care services in Australia. Accessible quality areas include educational program, health and safety, physical environment, staffing, relationships, partnerships, governance and leadership.

This achievement is well above the State and National averages and demonstrates our strong commitment to all areas of quality.
