Thank you!
We are thankful for a good experience for our son's first time in care and for the milestones he achieved whilst there. His educators loved him and we had a happy child come home each day.

Kind, fun and supportive!
For a start they are so wonderful with my daughter. This is evident when we leave and my daughter has to make sure she hugs everyone goodbye!

10/10, would highly recommend!
I've just had my second baby start and TGA Wollongong have been amazing in the lead up to him starting. He is loving it and appears to be cared for very well by the staff!

We’re open Monday to Friday, from 7:00am to 6:00pm. Our hours may vary slightly between locations, so please check with your centre for the most accurate times.
What is the enrolment process?
Our enrolment process is simple and supportive. Families can submit an enquiry online, book a tour and/or join our wait list if a place is not immediately available.
