Maryland Care and Early Education Centre is a community-based, not-for-profit early childhood service in Maryland, New South Wales. Operating locally for more than 30 years, the centre provides education and care for children from six weeks to six years of age, with capacity for 52 children. Its experienced teachers and educators bring knowledge and enthusiasm to supporting young children’s learning and wellbeing. A management committee of parents and community members helps oversee the service, with a focus on the wellbeing of both children and staff.

The centre is open Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm, and operates for 49 weeks each year. It closes for public holidays and over the Christmas period, with no fees charged for those closures. Daily fees vary by room, and the listed rates do not include the Child Care Subsidy. An annual enrolment fee applies. Families can access information about enrolment, the centre’s philosophy, rooms, curriculum and family resources, and can contact the centre to enquire about joining its waitlist.
