Wattle Child Care Centre in Wattle St Lyneham is a small community based centre offering long day care for 28 children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years.
Wattle Child Care presently receives an operational subsidy which the Howard Government intends to abolish. It is a fully community centre being managed by a committee of parents and staff.
Starting off four years ago in a refurbished house, Wattle has gone from strength to strength thanks to parents and dedicated staff.
Despite lack of substantial funding, the parents and staff of Wattle have managed to raise through fundraising events, enough money to fit the Centre with evaporative air conditioning.
To mark this event and to continue the never ending cycle of fundraising to improve the centre’s environment, Wattle will be holding an Art Show at the Centre on Friday 29 November from 5.30 to 7pm.
Senator Kate Lundy will officially flick on the air-conditioning at 5.30pm and open the art show.
The artworks are the creation of the children at Wattle Child Care and are beautifully framed and for sale on the night.
Wattle Child Care is located at 38 Wattle St Lyneham.
