How we started
Treloar Child Care Centre was established in 1985/1986 under the state and Federal Governments commitment to establish Child Care Centres and Community Houses in areas of need. The building is owned by the State Government, and as Treloar is a not-for-profit organisation, we are eligible to apply for grants and funding from both the state and federal governments and local community groups.
Our Philosophy
Welcome to Treloar where we provide a home away from home environment. Treloar is a non-for-profit
community-based service catering for 71 children daily in South Hedland, both in long day care and after
school care. We are governed by parents of the service who make up our entire committee.
Treloar Child Care Centre was established in 1985/1986 to establish Child Care Centres and
Community Houses in areas of need. We are very proud of Treloar and our history.
We would like to acknowledge the Kariyarra, Ngarla and Nyamal people as the traditional custodians of
the land. The Aboriginal and Torries Strait Islander culture is valued and respected at Treloar.
Our relationships with families are secure, respectful, and reciprocal. All families are encouraged to
share their culture, language, and input into our educational program and practice. We are committed
to, celebrating, and caring for each child in our care, as if they were family.
From the moment you enter our service, you will see how our Educators are compassionate, responsive,
and inclusive. Educators at Treloar take the time to get to know your child and strive to provide the
highest level of individual and personalised care, like they have been a part of our Treloar family for
many years and more to come.
Our Educators are very proud of who they are and share their many cultures with the children and
families. We are proud of our educational team members and their relationships between one another,
always striving to maintain a strong team moral.
Our curriculums are educational and develop strong foundations for ongoing learning, whilst meeting
the needs and interests of all children at Treloar. Our online learning platform enhances the
communication between home and our service, inviting families to experience active involvement with
their children’s learning. Treloar implements the Early Years Learning Framework and My Time Our
Place curriculum. We are committed to working within the National Quality Standards and execution of
our ever evolving, Quality Improvement Plan.
Treloar aims to continuously build positive connections with local communities. Our excursions and
incursions enable all the children of Treloar to connect with the wider community, making valuable links
with Port Hedland as a whole. We are incredibly proud of our children who are embarking on their own
learning journeys.
We respect the Pilbara, the land, and the local indigenous people, we strive to teach our children to
care for the environment, to see the beauty and to feel the freedom it has to offer. We work alongside
our local community garden to establish links to the land, establishing edible gardens and a more
sustainable future moving forward.
Our Philosophy is reflected in all we do here at Treloar, from the way we extend our warmth,
knowledge and respect to all children and family members, to the way in which we care for our fellow
team members. Treloar Child Care Centre has a commitment to continuous improvement and maintains
a culture of ongoing reflection and self-review.
