Integricare Northmead Early Learning Centre

Wonderful centre with caring, creative, experienced educators and staff who have built a lovely community within the centre - highly recommend! We have been involved with Integricare Northmead for 3 years, with both children currently attending the centre. Prior to enrolling our first child we visited several early education centres and found Integricare Northmead to be the most welcoming. All the staff (manager, admin, chef, educators) are friendly and approachable and are dedicated to providing holistic, individualised care and early education to the children. All staff are committed to developing relationships with the children (and families) and getting to know each child's interests, strengths, and learning goals, with key educators developing individual learning goals and activities designed to facilitate the child's development. Communication between staff and families is excellent, with educators taking the time to provide reassurance and support to parents. Parent and care giver input is welcomed. Milestones and special days are celebrated, often with activities that families are invited to attend, giving opportunities for parents and families to meet and develop relationships with each other. The centre encourages the children to see themselves as valuable parts of the broader community through ongoing activities that encourage caring for the environment, caring for disadvantaged and marginalised members of the local community, and supporting projects and charities with particular meaning to families connected with the centre. We feel safe entrusting the care and early education of our children to educators and staff who genuinely value them. Most importantly, our children have formed special bonds with several of their teachers and support staff, making them feel happy and safe.
