Located in Five Dock, The Garfield Street Childcare Centre by The Familyworks offers a nurturing, play-based environment where children can learn, grow, and build essential life skills.
We operate a 60-place Long Day Care centre and cater for children aged 0 to 5 years. All meals are provided throughout the day; breakfast (if required), morning tea, lunch, dessert, and afternoon tea. Food is prepared on premises daily, by our qualified cooks.
Our facilities are designed to create a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment for our children and families. From bright, play-based learning spaces to oudoor areas that encourage exploration and fun, every corner is carefully set up to support growth, curiosity, and connection We combine comfort, safety, and creativity so children can learn, play, and thrive every day.
All meals are prepared by the centre. We have a thoroughly planned menu which provides current recommended dietary requirements for young children. Our 3 weekly cycle menu is developed and maintained in collaboration with the NSW Government “Munch and Move” program. The menu is made flexible enough to reflect cultural diversity and medical restrictions for individuals.
Drop-off is from 7.30am and pick-up is by 6pm. Upon arrival, the adult delivering the child must sign in for the day using the Smart Central enrolment system. This can be done by a staff member or by you using a QR code provided. The adult must also ensure the child is handed over to the supervision of a staff member. If children are collected after 6pm late fees apply.
We are concerned with all areas of your child's development and plan a program which caters for their physical and emotional growth, social adjustment, mental growth and creativity, speech and language, and interests. For the very young, learning should be an engaging and meaningful process, and we incorporate daily observations of your child into our curriculum planning.
