Draft Childcare Strategy

DSC_6186 copy.jpg

The Childcare Strategy seeks to understand quantifiable data related to current and future needs of child-care of ages spanning 0-12, including early childhood, before and after school care and holiday care.

Council has developed this strategy to guide its work with the community to match the provision of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) across the Gilgandra Region to the community’s needs and aspirations.

We want Gilgandra to be an attractive and nurturing place for families with children. Childcare is an important contributor towards:

  • Improving outcomes for local children,
  • Enabling parents and carers to work or study as much as they want to,
  • Attracting people to the area, and
  • Boosting the workforce available for employment.

Having enough childcare is vital for Gilgandra to achieve its goals for growth and wellbeing.

Council is proud to present the Draft Childcare Strategy and looks forward to receiving the community's feedback. Please see the draft strategy below.
