Not-for-profit Board
The Centre is not a commercial business. We are managed by a committed group of parents. At Windsor Community Children’s Centre we are a community-based not-for-profit long day care centre and kindergarten. Our Centre is run by a Board made up of WCCC educators, families of the WCCC children and Sector Leaders. Our Board meets once a month to make decisions about running the Centre, for our children now, and for the families of WCCC in the future.
We are involved in strategic planning and policy development and setting the goals and priorities for the Centre. We aim to develop a culture where children thrive and the WCCC service offerings continually evolve and improve. We plan and co-ordinate communication with parents and organise social events to bring the WCCC community together.
We are the ‘Community’ of Windsor Community Children’s Centre. We’d love you to join us.
Outdoor space
Our outside yard is a hidden treasure to those that view our centre. We have a large open space that caters to a multi-aging indoor/outdoor program. This means that children from our younger rooms can move through the space to engage with older children, siblings and other educators. This supports the overall community feel we believe we provide at WCCC where children are exposed to multiple peer and educator relationships that will challenge them as well as support their ongoing learning journey. We aim for a more natural look to our outdoor space where we encourage children to explore and take risk. In coming into the centre you will find children climbing trees, engaging in water play, climbing, finding little nooks and connecting with nature all year round.
Meals
A nutritious and varied pescatarian menu is provided for our children each day. Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack are all cooked on-site by our qualified chef. We have a community garden that we sometimes look to for ingredients for our meals and encourage children and families to plant and nurture the environment for this purpose. All allergies and intolerances are catered for. The Centre is nut-free and we work hard as a community to provide messages and support to a nutritious lifestyle.
Model centre
We have been a model education and care service for universities such as Swinburne, Melbourne, La Trobe and RMIT for many years. Students and educators from multiple disciplinaries are regular visitors to our Centre where we are able to showcase what we believe to be best-practice. This has seen the centre connect with multiple external organisations in promoting topics such as inclusion, mentoring and Indigenous perspectives within education where our knowledge, ideas and practices can be shared in strengthening the profession and guiding others on their own journeys.
