Family and Children's Services
Family and Children's Services provide a number of child care services, including Family Day Care, Occasional Care and Long Day Care.
The Greater Shepparton City Council believes that every family has the right to quality care and education services that recognise and value the child as an individual and are responsive to the needs of families.
The early childhood years are important formative years in a child's development. The early childhood setting therefore needs to be a warm, secure, caring environment where the development of independence and self-confidence is fostered, and creativity and individuality are encouraged. The partnership between parent and carer is invaluable in the care and outcome for the child.
Our services are flexible and responsive to the changing needs of the children and their families and are provided in a way that is supportive to each families values and cultural and religious needs.
