Caring mates is our place, where we all belong.
Our vision is to lead and inspire young children’s learning for life. We enrich the lives of more than 11,000 children and families each year through our preschools, kindergartens, long day care services, family programs, and early childhood inclusion and allied health services across NSW, Victoria and the ACT.
Such is Caring Mates’ expertise and reputation, that we also operate inclusion programs on behalf of the Commonwealth and State Governments, and provide professional services to the early childhood sector, corporate sector and wider community.

Jack
— Jack, Parent of a 3-year-old
“A nurturing, safe and fun environment”
We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter receives. The educators are so warm and attentive. She comes home smiling every day and is learning so much. It feels like a second home!

Kylie W
— Kylie W, Mum of a 2-year-old
“More than childcare—it’s a community”
We feel so lucky to have found this centre. It’s not just a place where our son spends the day—it’s a space where he’s supported, loved, and encouraged to grow. The team has created a real sense of community, and that connection makes all the difference. They involve parents, celebrate cultural events, and support every child’s unique journey. Our son loves the outdoor play area, sensory activities, and group time.
