Una Taringa:
A vibrant tapestry of play and learning with nature-based daycare

At Una Taringa, we use nature to nurture children and support their development. Our innovative rewilding program isn’t just about a safe space while parents work – it’s about fostering a generation of passionate environmental stewards and curious explorers.

Imagine your little one splashing in puddles, building forts and using their imagination to create play experiences. At Una, we embrace messy play – it’s not just about being fun but about fostering a deep connection with nature and nurturing a spirit of exploration and discovery.

Our kindergarten programs transcend traditional classroom structures. When choosing Una Taringa to educate your child, each day is an opportunity to discover and experience a unique blend of learning with a nature-based focus.

Give your little one the gift of connecting with nature in a place where they will also experience the following:

  • Sustainability Champions: Una Taringa instills a sense of environmental responsibility when learning about composting, water conservation, and reducing waste.

What qualifications do the staff have?

Our Educators have a range of qualifications, including Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers, Diploma and Certificate 3 Level qualifications in Early Childhood Education and Care. Our Trainees are studying towards their Certificate 3 in Early Childhood Education and Care.

How many days can my child attend?

At Una Taringa we understand the need for flexible care arrangements for our families. As such we offer not only full-time care (5 days per week), but also part time care (1-4 days per week). These bookings are of a permanent nature meaning that your child’s booked place is guaranteed at the Centre each week and as such fees must be paid regardless of attendance. We are however happy to change your child’s day within a given week subject to availability.

Your child is able to attend for any time within our daily operating hours on their booked day (with the exception of public holidays when the Centre is closed).

How do I pay my fees?

Fees are payable weekly via an automatic debit system, set up forms are provided on enrolment.

If you choose to receive government fee assistance as a fee reduction, these amounts will be credited to your account once the details are received by the Centre from the Australian Government – Family Assistance Office (FAO). For determining your families eligibility for Child Care Benefits please contact the Family Assistance Office on 136150.

Will I be charged for public holidays?

As we are committed to providing continuity of care for your child our educators are employed in a permanent capacity and are therefore paid for public holidays. In an effort to meet this responsibility while maintaining affordability for our families, Una offers a 50 % reduction of the daily fee on these days.

What happens if I no longer need care for my child?

Two weeks’ notice in writing to the Centre Manager is required if you would like to cancel your child’s enrolment at Una or cancel a day permanently. Please note that if you do not attend the Centre during the notice period, you are unable to claim government fee assistance for that period and full fees will be payable.

What if my child has an accident whilst at the Centre?

Una is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone in our Centre however despite our best efforts sometimes accidents do unfortunately occur. If your child is involved in an accident whilst at the Centre, we will ensure that first aid is administered immediately. The Responsible Person in Charge will ensure that you or an emergency contact are notified promptly and details of the accident will be recorded on an Accident Report.
