St Anne's Long Day Care Centre

The St Francis Xavier Parish of Ballina took a very exciting step in January 2010 with the opening of this Early Childhood Education Children’s Centre for the Ballina-Lennox Head community. The Centre, very appropriately, is named after the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the grandmother of Jesus. The Centre is licensed to accommodate up to 76 children each day, enrolling children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age. The Centre is open Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 6pm for 50 weeks of the year with a two week closure over Christmas and New Year.

As for all children’s centres, St Anne’s Long Day Care Centre is licensed under the NSW Community Services Children’s Services Regulation 2004 and complies with the new National Quality Standards which were implemented in January 2012 as part of the Federal Government’s new National Quality Framework for children’s services. These standards are in place to ensure we continue to aim for a high quality of care for all children attending St Anne’s.
