The Infants’ Home is a registered charity that creates opportunities for young children and their families so they can reach their unique potential.

Every year, we provide early childhood education, early intervention, and family support to over 1300 children from birth to school age. One-third have additional needs or live in vulnerable circumstances.

For 138 years we have challenged conventional wisdom in protecting children at risk and guiding families as they build the strength, skills and confidence to create a more positive future for themselves.
