About Us

Welcome to Conyngham Street Community Children’s Centre

Our large natural play spaces provide children with opportunities to explore, imagine, and create. Both yards offer expansive areas with established trees, large sandpits, lawn spaces, and dedicated water play zones—creating flexible learning environments that support children’s curiosity and development.

CSCCC was established in the 1980s and relocated to its current purpose-built site in 1997.

We employ approximately 35 staff members and are proud of our high retention rate. The majority of our educators hold Diploma qualifications, and we have four Early Childhood Teachers (ECTs) who bring specialised knowledge and experience to our programs.

The Director, supported by the Assistant Director and Educational Leader, oversees the daily operations of the Centre. This leadership team works collaboratively to guide high-quality programs, drive continuous improvement, support educator development, liaise with external agencies, and ensure policies and procedures remain current and effective.

As a community-based, not-for-profit childcare centre, we are governed by a parent-led committee, along with the Director and a staff representative. All families are welcome to nominate for a position on the Governing Committee, with elections held at the Annual General Meeting. All surplus funds are reinvested directly back into the Centre to benefit children’s learning and wellbeing.

We have created natural, sustainable spaces that evolve with the children. Our educators understand the value of providing environments that invite challenge—spaces where children can assess risk, use real tools, explore heights, move quickly, hide, and engage deeply with natural materials.
