Services

Since its establishment in 1981, CASS has been committed to providing affordable, high quality child care services to the community.

CASS Child Care Services encompass three early learning centres and a family day care service, all committed to providing a safe, caring, inclusive, and engaging environment where children can play, learn, and grow.

As not-for-profit, community-based services, CASS Gumnut Early Learning Centres and CASS Family Day Care (CFDC) prioritize high-quality early childhood education, nurturing each child’s individuality while fostering meaningful connections with their peers and the broader community.

CASS Gumnut Early Learning Centres, located in Campsie (CELC), Hurstville (HELC), and St. Leonards (SLELC), cater to children from birth to 5 years old and offer Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) for school-aged children under 12.

CASS Family Day Care operates throughout the Sydney region, offering a home-based environment for children aged 0 to 12 years. Supported by registered and trained educators, the program focuses on each child’s unique abilities and strengths, fostering their educational and developmental growth.

CASS Child Care Services recognizes the uniqueness of each child and is committed to respecting and maintaining their rights and dignity. We believe that play is essential for each child’s learning, development, and well-being, and we emphasize creating new learning opportunities to prepare them for the next stage of education. We value partnerships with families and other community stakeholders, striving to provide high-quality care within a safe environment that embraces diversity.

Our educational program ensures a comprehensive curriculum that meets national standards. Guided by established frameworks, our professional educators support each child’s cognitive, language, social, and physical development through a variety of age-appropriate activities and experiences.

We actively incorporate children’s voices, valuing their thoughts, ideas, and interests to shape engaging learning experiences. Our aim is to inspire a love of learning and support the holistic growth of every child in our care.
