Prospect Community Early Education and Care

Prospect Community Early Education and Care is a community based, parent managed, not for profit long day care centre in Prospect in Adelaide's inner north. The centre says it opened in 1994, is licensed for up to 85 children each day across four purpose built rooms for children from six weeks to school age, and is governed by a management committee under an incorporated association, with day to day management entrusted to its director. It describes itself as a member of Community Children's Centres SA and says all revenue goes back into the service. Published information covers a play based program with an early childhood teacher in the kindergarten room and lead educators in the younger rooms, staffing above the required ratios, meals prepared by two on-site cooks, nappies supplied, centre pets and fortnightly library and school visits for the oldest children. The centre says it was the first early education and care service in Australia to achieve Rainbow Tick accreditation and that it has a Reconciliation Action Plan. Its waiting list can be up to 24 months, according to the centre. When this profile was checked, the national Starting Blocks service finder listed the centre as a Child Care Subsidy approved long day care service with an overall rating of Meeting National Quality Standard.
