Tiny Angels is a long day care centre that has been providing the local community with quality education and care for children aged 2 until school entry, for over 10 years.

Our operation hours are from 7:30am until 5:30pm Monday to Friday for 50 weeks per year and we are closed on public holidays.

At Tiny Angels we are passionate about providing a fun, secure and homelike environment for each child and in creating an inviting atmosphere for our families.

Our staff are qualified and have many years experience and are from various cultural backgrounds.
Our curriculum is based on the Early Learning Years Framework, which enriches and extends each child’s learning. We focus on the holistic view of each child to instill in them a sense of Belonging, Being and Becoming.

We create learning stories on each child and our curriculum is based on the interests of the children, input from our families and supported with educational teachings from our staff. We also provide a school readiness program for all children who will be entering the school system in the following year.

The NSW Department of Community Services licenses our centre and we also participate in the National Childcare Accreditation system in which we have always received the highest quality rating.

All staff members hold relevant qualifications and up-to-date First Aid Qualifications.

We provide your child with morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea, all of which are nutritious and are culturally varied. All of the menus are displayed for parents viewing.

At Tiny Angels, we believe that to be able to provide the best service possible, we need to work closely with our families. This then creates the connection for the children from home to our centre, ultimately ensuring a secure and supportive environment for all children to be nurtured through their discoveries of learning and personal growth.

We offer Ants In The Apple a phonics program each day as well as a professional music lesson, incorporated into our fees.

Thank-you for your enquiry of our centre, please if you have any further questions that we can help you with, feel welcome to contact us or come for another visit.

We hope that we can be of assistance to you and your family very soon.

Rebecca & the staffing team of Tiny Angels

At Tiny Angels child care centre, we provide a safe and stimulating environment, which is home-like for all of our children and their families. Staff ensure consistency in routines and guidance, thus promoting a sense of trust and positive self concepts that will allow children to become confident members of our society. We respect each child’s culture and it’s values, which we incorporate into our holistic curriculum. Based on The Early Learning Years Framework, daily routines and the curriculum, encourage active involvement and meaningful experimentation in a secure environment that allows the children to be leaders of their own play.

We understand that knowledge is acquired through interactive processes. Physical knowledge is acquired through interacting with the physical world, but most of what children learn is acquired through interacting with other children and with adults. Skills are learnt by trial and error, observation and instruction, and they are developed through practice. The activities planned and materials used are both child centered and educator supported. Our service will ensure the inclusion of children with various needs and abilities where the physical environment and centre resources are able to adequately cater for these needs, to ensure a professional and nurturing environment.

We teach a love of learning by fostering and encouraging each child's individual interest and needs that engage their minds in activities that are rich in content relevant to them and their own daily lives. We welcome and affirm the uniqueness of backgrounds with the children and their families. Our curriculum caters for each child and their family life, we encourage and allow each child to take the time to make discoveries that enhance their understanding of their world, their belief in themselves and are inclusive of home background, gender, cultural and special needs. Children are encouraged to learn to interact successfully within their social setting. They are motivated to interact verbally in a positive way and to be able to participate within the group with respect, care and an understanding of others.

Our practices support “Belonging, Being and Becoming” and the 5 Learning Outcome Areas For Children;

1)    Children have a strong sense of identity
2)    Children are connected with and contribute to their world
3)    Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
4)    Children are confident and involved learners and
5)    Children are effective communicators.

We believe that all staff need to develop and maintain open communicative relationships with our families, that are at all times to remain professional. Our parents are viewed as an asset and are therefore encouraged to be involved within our centre’s curriculum, day to day operations, and decisions that involve their child within the centre. We see ourselves as a support network for our families and aim to provide them with knowledge, advice, and a listening ear and outside professional support should this be required.

We are passionate in providing quality care and education to each child. We reflect and incorporate the individual needs of our families, staff and the community in order to create a supportive environment for all who utilise our service.

Monday morning at Tiny Angels started like all others….

Clarissa approached Karen and said: “I want to make a get well card for my mum”
Karen responded by asking, How do you want to make your card?’
The response was, “On special paper”
And so it begun….

Mia, Salma, Azalia, Sinead and Summar joined Clarissa in her card making experience.

Mia told Rebecca, “I want to use things to make a flower for mum on the card”.

Rebecca then suggested that the children use the craft trolley to extend on their creativity.
As intentional teaching for social skill development, Rebecca added 1 glue stick to the small group table.

Sinead: “I’m waiting for the glue”
Clarissa: “But I need the glue”
Sinead: “Do you know it is good to share?”

Salma: “Miss Karen can you draw me a heart please?”
Karen: “would you like me to teach you how to do that?”

Sinead: “Rebecca I don’t know how to write the names on my card.”
Rebecca: “if I write the names in dots, you can use your pencil to trace the letters
And you can then do your own writing on the card. What message
Would you like to write…”

Azalia: “Rebecca, do you know I need to go to the dentist tomorrow, I broke my tooth!”
Rebecca: “we have a book about going to the dentist, shall we read it together?”
