Integricare's Preschool at Strathfield views parents as children’s first teachers. Parents are encouraged to attend centre activities and communicate their expectations for their child’s learning.

The centre provides a developmental portfolio for each child that documents their learning, interests and friendship groups. It provides extensive online resources and has an online parent portal where families can stay up to date with activities and events.

To further support families, the centre organises supported playgroups. This provides a structured and positive learning environment in which children can socialise. It’s also a great way for parents to meet and share their experiences.

Every supported playgroup is facilitated by trained early childhood and family support workers. The team can refer and link families to health and community services and the centre partners with specialist services where needed to give appropriate support.

The centre has Family Workers, who support families with children between the ages of 0 and 8 years. By conducting comprehensive assessments, Family Workers are able to help families identify their immediate needs and then support them through a case management process and home or outreach visiting services.
