Other information

Clarendon Children's Centre was first rated Excellent by ACECQA in 2015 and has achieved that highest possible rating twice again since then – one of only a handful of services in Australia to have done so.

Clarendon Children’s Centre believes children’s early experiences have long term implications for their learning and development. They provide the highest quality education and care in an inclusive, welcoming and vibrant setting, centred on children’s best interests and rights. Children’s learning and development is respectful and equitable within an inclusive and innovative learning community.

CCC values family/educator partnerships and shared decision making. Their work is grounded in Australia’s early years learning frameworks and national quality standards and informed by our collective ideas and understandings about early childhood theories and research.

The educator team is empowered to excel through a lively culture of inquiry and critical reflection, and in a workplace environment where educators’ qualifications, experience and expertise are properly recognised and appreciated.
