Licensing Requirements: The centre is licensed for 38 children, with a staff/child ratio of 1:5 for 2-3 year olds and 2:22 for 3-6 year olds.

Parents must complete the permission and enrolment forms at interview with the Director; pay fees two weeks in advance, which are non-refundable, and produce immunisation documentation or a statement specifying non-immunisation before a child attends the centre.
Parents are encouraged to visit the centre prior to enrolment with their child to orientate the child to the centre and staff and to participate in the program with the support of their parent.
On enrolment, the settling in procedures are discussed with the parent, with an emphasis on establishing a routine goodbye procedure which involves a short period of activity with the child prior to leaving. Parents are also encouraged to contact the centre during the day to check on their child's progress. However, where a child shows considerable, ongoing distress, the Director will discuss further strategies with the parent.
Two weeks notice is required to withdraw a child from the program once a permanent place has been confirmed.
Wiradjuri Preschool and Childcare Centre has received three years accreditation from the National Childcare Accreditation Council Inc. This is the longest period a centre can have between accreditation review periods and is based on the quality of care and education the centre provides - Our centre received a high quality rating.
The Quality Improvement and Accreditation System involves each childcare centre in a self study program using 35 principles of 10 quality areas that are detailed in the accreditation document.
These principles were developed in order to look at the factors that actually
determine quality - that is, to gauge whether quality care is in fact provided.
By emphasising the actual outcomes for children, it shifts the focus from
meeting minimum standards to striving towards the highest level of care and
education, which should be the right of every child.
