At Integricare, our aim is to give every child the best possible start to life, where early learning and nurture go hand in hand. Our desire is to see a transformation in the children we care for, their families, and their wider community. We see children as active citizens in their learning, amongst a community of learners, within an environment that is characterized by exceptional care and the love of Jesus. Integricare is a not for profit, Christian, charitable organization, that has been providing family and children's services since 1882. Integricare currently has six Long Day Care Services, four Preschools, an Occasional Care Centre, two Supported Playgroup Schemes, and a Family Worker. We care for over 1400 children and their families each year. These services are conducted pursuant to Integricare's philosophy - "to provide for the care, support, and protection of families and their children, and the provision of childcare services"?. All children's services within Integricare are inclusive; encouraging the enrolment of children with additional needs and those from marginalized families. Underpinning Integricare's activities is the belief that strong family units are the core of our society, therefore the nurture and love of a family is to be supported, strengthened, and encouraged. Integricare is committed to working with all families. Integricare has a number of early learning centers across Sydney that offer extended hours for busy families. These are located in Homebush West, North Strathfield, Northmead, Parramatta, Rockdale, and Turrella.
