Our Centre is licensed for 40 children, of these 14 children can be under two years of age. We provide only full time enrolments.

Our hours of operation are 7:30am – 5:45pm Monday to Friday.

We employ a full time cook, who prepares three nutritious meals every day, plus a snack to take home.

Princes Street Childcare Centre is governed by a Trust Board. The majority of the Trust Board members are parents who have children attending the Centre. Voluntarily supporting the senior management of the Centre, the trustees are working to ensure the children receive the best quality care and education possible.

The Princes Street Childcare Trust Board meet monthly and meeting dates are displayed in the Centre foyer. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend the monthly meetings and the AGM. Nominations for the Board are accepted at the AGM.
