Child care service to extend hours

Occasional child care service at the Woy Woy Community Centre will extend its hours from August 29, opening from 8:30am and 4.30pm.

The decision to extend the hours was a result of community and parent feedback and the increasing demand for more flexible child care services for children aged up to five.

Coast Community Connections acting chief executive officer Ms Di Spragg said: "As our children's services enrolments have grown, so too has the demand for our occasional care facility.

"It provides flexibility for families returning to work, juggling other children or needing the time to complete chores and errands without the little ones around," Ms Spragg said.

"Our service is licensed to cater for up to 23 children and offers both casual and permanent enrolments for local families," she said.

Coast Community Connections also runs two vacation care and three before and after school care programs as well as weekly playgroup and Kindy Gym groups, hosted through the Peninsula Community Centre.

"Our children's services programs provide children with supervised care by experienced and trained staff who are committed to providing high quality activities as well as giving children a holistic experience," Ms Spragg said.

"With limited child care options available for parents, we are pleased to be able to offer different levels of care for local families, as well as programs for children and babies," she said.

The Coast Community Connections Occasional Care facility is located at the back of the Peninsula Community Centre at 93 McMasters Rd, Woy Woy, with access to it past the Peninsula Theatre.
