Education and Care Services


Are you looking for licensed quality Education and Care service? Council operates four Education and Care facilities across the Shire. The operation of these centres is based on respect for the child as an active citizen of our community and the provision of education and care in a safe, healthy and stimulating teaching environment.

Facilities include Nursery and Preschool Centres (long day care) and an Early Childhood Education Centre (long day care and sessional care).

Long day care is a service that provides education and care for children up to five years old for periods of up to 10.75 hours per day while parents are working or completing work-related study.

There are also a limited number of sessional care places at the Eastwood Centre. Sessional care allows parents and carers to take time out for shopping, work, study, to attend appointments, sport and leisure activities or just to relax and have a break.

All Council long day care centres are operated under Council's Education and Care Education and Care Services Operations Policy - 28kb in conjunction with Council's Code and Procedures for Education and Care Services.
