Grenfell Long Day Care Centre

Child Care lists Grenfell Long Day Care Centre in Grenfell, who continued to provide excellent Playgroup care, education and support for the children and their families of Grenfell Australia.

Grenfell Preschool has operated since 1964, providing an educational service for children aged from 3 to 5 years.  In 2000, the State Government provided an excellent opportunity for a Long Day Care Centre to be built, adjoining the Preschool.

Grenfell Preschool & Long Day Care Centre was established through a joint strategy between the Department of Community Services (DoCS) and the Department of Family and Community Services (FaCS) – now known as the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).

Grenfell Preschool & Long Day Care Centre opened in June 2001.  In June 2002, the Centre converted most of its Preschool placements to Long Day Care in order to make fees more affordable to the general community.  Ten state funded preschool placements are still available per day.
