We tune in, connect and are kind. We strive for social justice, walk together and celebrate every child.

Exciting News: Our 3-Year Strategic Plan Unveiled!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new Strategic Plan, and we owe a huge thank you to everyone who helped shape it!

Our Focus:

Birth to Three Matters: Those first three years are vital for children’s lifelong health, well-being, and learning. Positive experiences now build a strong foundation for their future.

People, Capability, and Culture: Our team is dedicated to doing their best for children and families. To make it happen, we’ll retain and bring in talented professionals and ensure a great workplace.

Organisational Excellence Transforms: Equipping our team with tools and tech will improve communication, benefiting children and families. Partnering with other agencies will ensure our success lasts.

This isn’t just a plan— it’s our promise to work together for positive change. With your support, we’re creating a world where children and families thrive in safe, connected communities.

Strategic Plan FY24-FY26

“My child is so obviously loved and cared for, I feel like he is with his family all day long. The educators make me feel valued as a parent too and go out of their way to support and encourage me personally as well as taking such good care of my child.”

“Hazelwood is a wonderful centre where the educators clearly care for the children in their care. Through her time at Hazelwood my daughter learnt the confidence and skills that enabled a successful transition to kindergarten.”

“The staff go above and beyond to ensure the preschool environment exceeds in all areas, the children are always participating in exciting experiences such as cooking, campfires, and their imaginations are consistently catered to and supported. Possum preschool is fantastic and We couldn’t be happier with the centre.”

We tune in, connect and are kind. We strive for social justice, walk together and celebrate every child.

Together we support children's and families' learning, safety and wellbeing.
