Noogaleek Childrens Centre 45 Winnima Way, Berkeley, New South Wales 2506

Welcome to Noogaleek Children's Centre, located at Berkeley, Winnima Way, 45 in beautiful Wollongong, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to caring for our youngest generation by providing a stimulating educational experience within a culturally rich environment.

Noogaleek Children's Centre is a Multifunctional Aboriginal Children's Service (MACS) licensed for 39 children per day aged 0 to 5. Our sister institution, Winnanggay Preschool, is licensed for 20 children per day aged between 3 and 6. Both centers offer a culturally appropriate and holistic approach to Early Childhood Education for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children in the Illawarra region.

At Noogaleek and Winnanggay, we strive to meet the cultural needs of children, their families, and the community. Our caring, educational, stimulating, and nurturing environment aims to support the overall development of each child. We believe that our children are our future, and we are committed to bringing back the Aboriginal culture and its lost identity.

Our dedicated teachers are passionate about providing high-quality educational programs and cultural activities that enhance your child's social and educational skills. We work closely with support agencies to not only support the child but also their families.

While our centers prioritize placement for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families, we welcome and encourage families from all cultural backgrounds to join our community. We believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where every child can thrive.

To ensure accessibility, Noogaleek Children's Centre provides a free school bus service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and children when reliable transport is unavailable.

We would like to take a moment to acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners and custodians of the land throughout the Illawarra, as well as the Aboriginal nations with a continuing connection to this country, sea, land, and community. We value and honor the wisdom of our Elders, both past and present, who have shaped the history of the IAC and continue to guide us towards a brighter future.

Thank you for considering Noogaleek Children's Centre and Winnanggay Preschool. We look forward to welcoming your child into our culturally rich and nurturing environment.
