Building Blocks Early Childhood Learning Centres has adopted industry best practise in the provision of care and
education and integrates accreditation (quality control) systems into
daily practices.
We have comprehensive policies to provide consistent quality care for
you and your child. These polices determine the way our Centres operate
Polices cover Operational Conditions, Children, Programs, Nutrition,
Health, Visitors, Staff, Safety, Quality Improvement and Accreditation
Systems and Evaluation
The policies are available at the Centre and you, as the parent/s are
encouraged to read the policies and become familiar with them. Parent
input in the reviewing of policies is welcomed.
Our Centres are open 49-50 weeks of the year depending on location.
We close over Christmas/New Year as we believe this is a time for family.
Centre hours are generally from 7am to 6:30pm weekdays including school
holidays & excluding public holidays
The hours of care available to you are directly dependant upon the times
we are able to offer, based on staffing rosters and ratio requirements
as set out by the Department of Community Services
Children will not be received into care until the official opening time
of the Centre. Where children are collected late a late fee will apply.
