Every opportunity to learn

Children become confident learners when they feel secure, when we recognise their strengths, and when we value their interests.
Every opportunity to make friends

When children feel confident and secure they reach out, interact, and develop friendships that can last a lifetime.
Every opportunity to be themselves

Encourage children to be children by allowing them to enjoy who they are, here and now.
Every opportunity to play

Children explore, discover possibilities and learn to understand their world through play.
Every opportunity to belong

Children come to feel they belong by forming secure relationships with their family, their community and their heritage.

The Infants’ Home integrates early childhood education, early intervention and specialist health services to create opportunities for young children and their families so they can reach their unique potential.

In 2012, we provided services to over 1700 children from birth to school age. One-third of these children have additional needs or live in vulnerable circumstances.

For 139 years we have been a dynamic and innovative organisation, protecting children at risk and guiding families as they build the strength, skills and confidence to create a more positive future for themselves.
