Evergreen Early Education Centre
The Evergreen Centre is a purpose built, state of the art Centre that educates and nurtures children from 0 to 6 years old. The Centre is open Monday to Friday, 7.00am to 6.00pm and only closes on Public Holidays. Our Centre is located on 68 Sydney Street, St Marys and is close to public transport, primary schools and the local shopping centre.
The Centre is equipped with the latest CCTV security and a swipe tag access system for peace of mind. There is onsite parent parking as well as pram parking available at the Centre. A Baby Care room is also available for visiting parents. As a part of our ‘Open Door’ policy we encourage parents to come and visit their child throughout the day and spend some time at the centre if possible.
All meals are prepared onsite in our commercial grade kitchen by our amazing chef. This includes Breakfast, Morning Tea, Lunch, Afternoon Tea and Late Snack.
The design of our Centre has had the input of Early Childhood professionals to ensure the daily operations of the Centre runs smoothly. The Centre features large rooms, with smaller numbers of children enrolled in each room ensuring a better quality of care is provided to each individual child. The Children’s Indoor environment overlooks two beautiful natural outdoor play areas, encouraging simultaneous indoor and outdoor play which is embedded within the Evergreen Curriculum.
The children’s Indoor rooms feature Learning Centres rich in age appropriate resources to stimulate learning based on the developmental needs and current interests of the children. This is a place where the children can begin to explore language, music and movement, science and the arts, to help them make sense of their world. The Early Learner’s (2 to 3 years) and Preschool (3 to 5 years) rooms have a dedicated IT station featuring desktop computers and iPads with Early Literacy and Early Numeracy programs.
The natural outdoor environment is an area where the children can be close to nature and learn how to respect, look after and protect their environment. Our Outdoor play areas feature sandpits, open forts, climbing and balance beam obstacle course, stepping stones, vegetable and herb gardens, natural shading protecting the children from the sun, and each room has an outdoor deck which provides the children with an area to enjoy meals as well as a retreat area for quieter activities such as reading, puzzles and much more.
Our Indoor and Outdoor learning environments are designed to encourage the children to interact, take on roles and develop relationships with others through play, whilst encouraging each child to value and respect each other’s differences and embracing everything new.

PARENT INFORMATION
Transitioning to the new Child Care Subsidy
From 2 July 2018, one new Child Care Subsidy will replace the two current child care payments. This transition cannot happen automatically.
To transition, you will need to complete an online Child Care Subsidy assessment using your Centrelink online account through myGov.
You will be asked to provide some new information and confirm your current details, including:
Combined family income
Activity level of parents
Type of child care service
If families do not complete their assessment before 2 July 2018, they may not receive any child care fee assistance.
Child Care Subsidy
The Package includes a new Child Care Subsidy, which replaces the current Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate. The Child Care Subsidy will be paid directly to services.
There are also changes to the annual cap which will make child care more affordable for most families.
Three things will determine a family’s level of Child Care Subsidy:
A family’s income will determine the percentage of subsidy they are eligible for
An activity test will determine how many hours of subsidised care families can access, up to a maximum of 100 per fortnight, and
The type of child care service will determine the hourly rate cap.
More information about individual subsidy rates and annual cap changes is available in the New Child Care Package brochure.
Some basic requirements must be satisfied for an individual to be eligible to receive Child Care Subsidy for a child. These include:
the age of the child (must be 13 or under and not attending secondary school)
the child meeting immunisation requirements
the individual, or their partner, meeting the residency requirements.
