TERRITORY Child Care Group is committed to providing high-quality education and care services through Darwin Family Day Care, Murraya Children’s Centre, Bees Creek Outside School Hours and Vacation Care.

Darwin Family Day Care is a profession­al home-based Early Childhood Education and Care Service.

Territory Childcare Group administra­tion officer Karyn Williams said they offered small group home-based care in an environmen­t in which children can feel safe, develop secure attachment­s and the confidence to explore and investigat­e the world around them.

“Educators and families build positive relationsh­ips that are culturally inclusive and in context with the child’s community,” she said.

Murraya Children’s Centre is a progressiv­e centre-based education and care service where young children can explore the world around them in an environmen­t that is designed for active inquiry based learning.

“We explore relationsh­ips with living and non-living things and assist children to develop an awareness of the impact we have on the environmen­t,” Ms Williams said.

Bees Creek Outside School Hours Care and Vacation Care provides a fun and engaging program for school-aged children.

“As children move through different early childhood settings into school aged care, great importance is placed on building relationsh­ips and exploring and extending interests and hobbies in a recreation­al and leisure context,” she said.

“Territory Child Care Group has a highly-qualified team of profession­als that understand­s the needs of children.

“We are innovative in our approach to providing stimulatin­g learning experience­s and environmen­ts for children, and value relationsh­ips between children and their families. This is reflected in all our services having been rated as exceeding national quality standards by QECNT.”

In 2016, Murraya Children’s Centre won Outstandin­g Achievemen­t in Community Engagement and Outstandin­g Education and Care Service in Long Day Care and Kindy at the Northern Territory Education and Care Awards.

Darwin Family Day Care’s Educationa­l Leader Christine Tayler also won an award for Outstandin­g Leadership.

Proudly serving the Darwin community for 40 years through Darwin Family Day Care, Murraya Children’s Centre, and Bees Creek OSHC and Vacation Care.
