Our Philosophy, Values & Vision

Dolphins Child Care Centre is a family owned and operated children’s centre in Tuncurry, caring for children (from 6 weeks to 5 years) and their families in the Great Lakes region for the past 23 years.

Our service includes a baby’s room, a comprehensive pre-school program, and an Early Childhood Music Education program. Dolphins offers the complete care package for families.

Staff at Dolphins have embraced the new Regulations and Quality Assurance process that came into place in 2012. The main focus of the National Quality Standards are on higher staff to child ratios, alongside improved minimum qualifications for all staff. These standards will improve the quality of care and education for all children, Australia-wide.

At Dolphins, we have individual programs for each child. These programs are devised by their group leaders and are based on the observations taken of their focus child. With these observations, group leaders are able to plan activities to extend on each individual child’s interests, strengths and skills. Within our small groups, we build strong relationships with the children in our care.
