Best centre ever I went there when I was 1-5 and started primary in 2018 and I’m in highschool next year!

I have 2x kiddies at this centre, and it's so great! It has a small, community vibe that you simply don't get at bigger centres. We've been part of the WMCC since 2020 and always felt part of the family. The Educators are amazing here too, always up for a chat if I've ever had any questions. This year my son is in the pre-school room and they've really stepped things up with their current program.

I am sharing my honest experience with this center to help other parents make informed decisions. The quality of the experience at this center can vary, as it largely depends on the individual educator. While I have raised multiple concerns with the committee, their response has been inconsistent, sometimes they addressed the issues, while at other times, no action was taken. Miss Nicole, the former director, was exceptional. However, I ultimately decided to withdraw my child from the center due to incidents where my child was punched and bitten by other children. Although this occurred a few years ago, I felt it was important to share my experience to help parents evaluate whether this center is right for their child.

I have two children at this centre. One in the preschool room (4-5 yrs) and she will begin school next year. My other who is now just over 1 is in the Joey room (6 weeks to 2 yr). I can honestly say since the day they both started at around the ages of 4-6 months that the love, the care, the education, the thoughtfulness that goes into my kids wellbeing and their educational upbringing is outstanding. I have never ever dropped my kids off thinking is this the right place for them. I have always felt so confident that my kids are so loved and so well looked after. It’s an extension of our family in so many ways for our kids. The educators are a part of their lives five days a week and I honestly don’t know what we’re going to do when my daughter goes to school next year, other than cry! At least I’ll still have our son in there for another 4 years before he’s off to school too! If you’re looking for a centre that gives love and care as if the kids were their own and spends a great deal of thought into their education at all the levels then this is the perfect small community run day care centre for you. My one year old walks through the gate in the morning like it’s nobody’s business with a smile on his face and all the kids gather around to say good morning and instantly play. My daughter has been there for so long she knows every kid, every parent of each kid and every educator. It truly is a and has been a special place to watch our kids grow in their early years.

We have been more than happy Winston Mall Children’s Centre for our Children’s pre-school education. The Centre builds a great community spirit and supportive environment for the Children to develop and grow. The Educators were engaged in the children’s educational experience and would often offer the opportunity to extend our children when they were showing additional skills in a particular area. We would recommend this Centre for any young family.

About Winston Mall Children's Centre

Welcome to Winston Mall Children's Centre!

Our community-based, not-for-profit, Long Day Care Centre operates from 7am-5;30pm, Monday to Friday and caters for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.

WMCC offers competitive fees for families in our community and is overseen by an Executive Committee comprised of family members within our Centre.

From Birth to School

Our educators deeply care for children and love to watch them grow from babies to "big kids."  Winston Mall Children's Centre is divided into 3 age-based rooms - Joeys, Wallabies and Kangaroos - to cater for all needs and learning stages of the children.

As the children develop their skills they will progress through the rooms and eventually be ready to move onto indpendent learning at primary school. 

Our curriculum

Our curriculum is approved by ACECQA and follows the Australian guidelines.

The program follows the National Quality Framework (NQF) and WMCC received a "Meeting Expectations" rating in 2014, validating our service as compliant with all childcare guidelines. Our compliance is always improving and we are striving for "Exceeding Expectations" at the next review.

We have many programs that enhance the learning experience of our children and make childcare fun.

Outdoor Learning

WMCC has a custom designed interactive sensory outdoor learning space.

This unique playground was enabled by a government grant honoured in 2018 for the benefit of our children and families.

The outdoor area focuses on 3 key themes:

  • sustainability
  • Indigenous culture
  • sensory learning
