Other information
About this centre
Hilda Booler Kindergarten offers a pre-school program for children aged 3 to 5 years. This licensed centre has a strong focus on quality interaction and education that is designed to help prepare your child for school.
Our program is based on the national early years learning framework, which focuses on children's interests, strengths and individual needs. Our educators work closely with the children to develop a play-based program that is enriching and encourages collaborating with peers, making choices while building on their strengths and emerging skills. The experiences we offer foster children's social, creative, language, cognitive and physical skills.
The program runs Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 4pm, during school term. A school holiday care program operates in conjunction with the Broughton Street Kindergarten, also in Glebe.
Meeting future demands
In 2019, we commissioned and published an analysis of child care needs across the local area now and into the future. The report was completed in partnership with Families at Work and provides an update to the 2013 study.
The analysis covers centre-based child care, long daycare, preschool, occasional care and home-based care.
The report includes interviews and surveys with providers and users of child care in our area. We thank participants for their responses. These will help us to support the needs of families in our area.
For all general enquiries about our childcare services please contact Catherine Avero, on 02 9246 7886.
