Children & families
Waverley Council values and support families. Residents and non-residents who work in our local area are able to choose a variety of children services (0-5 years of age) to include Council’s four early education Centres, a Family Day Care service and a Family and Community Support Worker.
Council also subsidises a number of community-based children’s services. Assistance with identifying local needs and planning new services is available from Community Workers.
