Due to the layout of the building, our Short Day Preschool room does not have wheelchair access. To ensure we can accommodate your child’s needs and to discuss our facilities, a mandatory pre-enrolment tour will be required for all families prior to acceptance into the program. This allows us to meet you and your child, and for you to experience our centre first-hand.
Balmain Care for Kids adheres to the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) priority of access guidelines for disadvantaged children.
