Food and activities
Children enjoy the outdoor spaces provided by Merrylands child care centres, with a range of imaginative zones, wheeled toy paths, sandpits and more. Indoor rooms are appropriately designed and each centre offers a unique take on reading nooks and engaging activities, suitable for babies, toddlers or kindy age children. Out of school care is also available and provides a valuable time for children to wind down or do their homework well supported by qualified educators.
Centres may include nappies, formula, linen and sunscreen and some facilitate visits from allied health professionals according to need. Meals provided consist of lunch, morning and afternoon tea, adhering to strict nutrition guidelines and ensuring all children have access to a well balanced food intake.

Education
The Early Years Learning Framework forms the basis for Merrylands childcare educational programmes, which allows a responsive approach to children’s interests and development levels.
Qualified, trained educators are able to assist children to engage in events that enhance their learning as well as providing specialist learning in extra-curricular activities such as music, art and languages.
Parents are kept informed of their children’s progress through a variety of methods, according to the preference of the centre, helping to transition each child from home to school without interruption.
