Town and Country Children’s Centre
Long daycare, preschool and childcare service in Wagga Wagga NSW
Playgrounds
The childcare centre has several spacious outdoor playgrounds. The incorporation of natural landscapes and vegetation into the play areas provides diversification for children to learn and explore. Children have a sandpit, vegetable garden, outdoor classroom and a large fixed play equipment area.
Animal Farm
All of the animals at Town and Country are handraised and live adjacent to the playgounds. The children are encouraged to interact and assist with the care and feeding of the pig, Dottie and the goat Esme. The semi rural location allows the children access to the adjoining farm thus enabling farm walks and animal education.
Dining Room
There is a designated dining room for the children which also contains individual lockers. The centre has an outdoor area with tables and chairs which is also used for dining. The menu and eating experiences are varied, multicultural and encourage healthy eating principles.
Classrooms
The two classrooms have an open plan design with lots of natural light. One classroom is known as the Cuddlepies and the other classroom is the Snugglepots. Staff have access to an array of educational material to help with the learning process and the transition from preschool to school.
Our education program includes:
- Individual portfolios for each child
- Daily journal
- Checklist on children’s development
- Individual observations making links to the early years learning framework
- Reflection and follow ups
- Photos
- Samples of each child’s work
- Family and community involvement
- A healthy balance of indoor and outdoor activities
- Transitions – whether from one room to another, or from preschool to school, we will do our utmost to ease the transition to speed up your child’s adjustment process.
Child Safe Standards
We are committed to embedding the Child Safe Standards into our daily practice to make our services even safer for children.
