Something exciting is happening and we could not keep it to ourselves.

Campbelltown Community Children's Centre has been nominated for the Local Business Awards 2026 in the category of Outstanding Local Early Childhood Centre and your vote means everything to us.

50 years. Half a century of children who walked through our doors as babies and are now sending their own children to us. Of families who became community. Of educators who gave their hearts to this work every single day. Of a not for profit service that has never once stopped asking, how do we do better for the children of this community?

This nomination belongs to every family who has trusted us. Every educator who has shown up. Every child who has ever called this place their second home.

If CCCC has meant something to your family, if your child ran in happy, learned something wonderful, felt safe and known and genuinely cared for, we would be so honoured if you would take one minute to vote for us.

It takes less than a minute and it would mean absolutely everything to our team.

There is something about gathering around a fire that humans have done for thousands of years.

This Thursday our Blue Gum children get to feel exactly why. 🔥

This Thursday 11th June at 9:30am our Blue Gum children will gather around a real winter campfire and we could not be more excited for them.

This is not a worksheet about fire safety. It is a lived experience.

Around that fire they will learn to respect and understand fire safety in the most real and meaningful way possible. They will warm their hands, listen to stories, sip Billy Tea, make damper and roast marshmallows together. They will feel the crackle of the flames, smell the wood smoke and experience something that connects them to the natural world in a way that no indoor activity ever could.

This is what outdoor education looks like when it is done with intention. Not managed risk avoidance but thoughtful, supervised, genuinely rich experience that builds confidence, curiosity and a deep respect for nature.

A risk assessment for the Winter Campfire will be available for families to review at the front office. 💛

National Reconciliation Week 2026 has come to a close and our hearts are full.

This week, our children did something that no worksheet, no poster and no passive display could ever achieve. They lived it.

They gathered around a table laid with eucalyptus leaves, clay, natural materials and photographs of real Ganyas, traditional shelters built by Aboriginal peoples for thousands of years, and they asked questions. They touched, explored, built and wondered. They connected their small hands to a story that stretches back longer than any of us can fully comprehend.

They explored Aboriginal instruments and symbols, learning the language of a culture that has cared for this land since the beginning. They created their own artwork on our ALL IN wall, every circle a tiny declaration that we are all in for a reconciled Australia. Friendship. Family. Hearts. Each one drawn by a child who is just beginning to understand what it means to belong to something bigger than themselves.

And they listened to a story.
This year's National Simultaneous Storytime brought us Luna Roo: the Kangaroo Baller. a beautiful, inspiring tale about courage, teamwork and believing in yourself even when the odds feel impossible.
Reconciliation is a practice. A daily choice to learn, to listen, to acknowledge and to raise children who grow up understanding that this country's story belongs to all of us but that it begins with the oldest living culture on earth.

We are proud to be ALL IN. 💛🖤❤️

We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the land on which Campbelltown Community Children's Centre stands. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

There have been moments in the life of this Centre where the easier path would have been to look the other way.
To fill a spot because a spot needed filling. To move a little faster than we should have. To let something slide just this once because the pressure to keep things moving was real and the timing felt impossible.

Because the one thing we will never compromise on is the safety and wellbeing of every child in our care.
And that sounds simple until you understand what it actually means in practice.
It means we will not accept a child into care without a current, signed action plan if they have an allergy or medical condition. Even if the family is wonderful. Even if they are desperate. Even if the timing is heartbreaking. Because the moment that child walks through our doors they are our responsibility and we refuse to carry that responsibility without everything we need to protect them properly.
It means we will not compromise on our sleep safety procedures. Ever. Not because a parent asks us to. Not because it would be more convenient. Not because it is just this once. Because a sleeping child is a vulnerable child and vulnerability demands our absolute best.
It means we will not put a child in a room that is not properly staffed because we know the difference between a room that is managed and a room that is genuinely cared for and that difference lives in the staffing decisions we make every single day.
It means we will sometimes have hard conversations with families. Uncomfortable ones. Conversations that other centres avoid because they are worried about losing an enrolment.
Because the families who stay after a hard conversation are the families who understand what we stand for.
This is what it means to choose Campbelltown Community Children's Centre. Not just a beautiful space and a warm welcome, a team that will never stop putting your child's safety first.
📌 Group tours are opened for 2027

Most parents think about childcare quality in terms of what they can see.

The environment. The resources. The ratio. The smile on their child's face at pickup.

And all of that matters.

But there is something that drives every single one of those things that is almost impossible to see from the outside. Something that determines whether your child is truly thriving or just getting through the day.

It is the educator standing in that room.

Not just their qualification. Not just their experience. But how supported they feel. How challenged they are. How invested their Centre is in helping them grow.

Here is what the research tells us and what we see every single day in practice.

An educator who feels genuinely valued shows up differently. They are more present. More patient. More attuned to the subtle shifts in a child's mood, energy and behaviour. They have the emotional capacity to sit with a child who is struggling rather than manage them through it. They bring curiosity to their work instead of just routine.

An educator who is regularly challenged through professional development thinks differently. They ask better questions. They design richer experiences. They understand the why behind what children do, not just the what. And that understanding changes every single interaction they have with your child throughout the day.

At Campbelltown Community Children's Centre we invest in our educators constantly. Monthly internal trainings. External conferences and forums. Ongoing coaching and reflective practice. Full funding for professional development because we believe that cost should never be a barrier to growth.

When you choose CCCC you are not just choosing an environment. You are choosing a team that is constantly growing for your child.

We want to tell you about the kind of Thursday that reminds us why this work matters so much.

Sharmane and Sarvia spent the day at the Flying Start Leaders Forum, a gathering of over 400 leaders from services right across our state. People who have dedicated their careers to giving young children the best possible start in life.

Sharmane was invited to be part of the panel discussion. To sit alongside other leaders and speak honestly about something she believes in deeply, professional development. Why it is not a nice to have. Why it is the difference between a program that exists on paper and one that actually changes outcomes for children.

If you have ever wondered why we talk so much about investing in our educators, this is exactly why. Because the quality of what happens in our rooms every single day is directly connected to how much the people leading those rooms are growing, learning and being challenged.

The day also brought the chance to be in the same room as the incredible Anthony Semann and to hear exciting news and new initiatives from the Honourable Minister Lucy Hood.

Sarvia and Sharmane came back energised. Full of ideas. Ready to bring everything they heard and felt that day back into the walls of this Centre and into the hands of the children we care for.

From intent to impact 🙌🤝
