The Aldinga Children's Centre is an initiative of the Department of Education and Child Development. Aldinga Children's Centre is scheduled to be built in 2013, currently there are two staff employed Lauren Jew the Community Development Coordinator and Leigh Stone the Administration Officer. The Aldinga Children's Centre will be situated at the back of the Aldinga Primary School, on the corner of Evans St and Greenlees Parade, until then Lauren is working from the library at the Aldinga Primary School. The Aldinga Children's Centre will be a space for children from birth to eight and their families. There will be a kindergarten on site, an occasional care and multiple placements for children with multiple disabilities. A Speech Therapist, Occupational Therapist and a Nurse will be available to provide a range of services such infomation, assessments, referrals and support. It is critical that the services offered within the Centre match the needs of the community. We are very interested to hear what community members and workers believe could be provided to further support families in the region. Although we are based in Aldinga the Children's Centre is far greater reaching, children and families from any area are welcome to access the Centre. The purpose of this Facebook page is for: - Events in and around Aldinga to be promoted - Information sharing - Progress updates on the building of the Aldinga Children's Centre - A space for discussions, thoughts and ideas.
