Welcome to St Marks Pre-School and Long Day Care Centre, a ministry of St Stephen's Presbyterian Church. The Centre aims to maximise each child's potential in a loving, family, Christian environment.
The centre provides Preschool and Long Day Care for up to 44 children each day in 2 play rooms, the Jellybean Room for 3-4 year olds and the Lollipop Room for 4-5 year olds providing a school readiness program.
In January 2012 the National Quality Framework (NQF) came into effect across Australia.
The purpose of the NQF is to improve and standardise the quality of child care through a
range of measures including better staff to child ratios, higher staff qualifications
and an assessment and rating system designed to promote continuous improvement.
Under the NQF child care services are assessed and rated against the National Quality Standards (NQS).
The NQS measures the quality of early childhood education and care in Australia. It will cover
most long day care, family day care, preschool/kindergarten and outside school hours care services.
Under these standards child care services will be assessed and rated against the
seven quality areas, 18 standards and 58 elements that make up the NQS.
