Community Outreach

To further support families of the centre, and the wider community, BWFCC have a range of initiatives designed to improve outcomes for children and their families. We want all families that access our centre to feel that they have the arms of Bubup Womindjeka wrapped around them, particularly when we face life’s challenges. So we invite anyone to come to us, share your story and allow us to support you in any way we can.

Bubup Pantry

At Bubup Womindjeka we have a pantry that contains non-perishable foods and household items. These are available to all families within the BWFCC community to take, free of charge at any time. If families realise they have no dinner one night, we welcome them to take items from the pantry, if your child/ren are hungry as they leave the service, please take something from the pantry. If at any time you would like to donate food items to the pantry to help support our community in the challenging role of raising children, we would welcome your contributions. The pantry is located in the reception area.

Parent Zone Noticeboard

Our Parent Zone Noticeboard is located in the main entrance. It contains pamphlets to support families in understanding a number of issues in relation to children and early childhood challenges, such as behaviour management, developing resilience, dealing with fears and more. These are available for families to take away and read at home.

Bubup Swap Shop

Our Swap Shop contains a range of children’s new and second hand clothing. Families are welcome to take any clothes that interest them. Families will bring in quality second hand items of clothing to add to the Swap Shop from time to time. The Swap Shop is another way we can support the community. Children grow out of their clothes very quickly, and this allows families a little relief in the continual need to buy more clothing. The Swap Shop is located in the reception area, and is welcome to used at any time. If you wish to donate clothing items, please speak to one of our friendly team members in the reception area.

Parenting Support

Here at Bubup Womindjeka we recognise that parenting can be filled with challenges and difficult decisions, whilst also being rewarding and enjoyable. We aim to support families in the parenting role, by offering guidance, support and the advice of early childhood and healthcare professionals. Our in-house psychologist along with our parenting seminars cover a range of topics (challenges) that parents of preschoolers face each day.

Parent Involvement

Parents are invited to be involved with the service in any way they can. If you have expertise, a skill, talent or hobby that you would like to share, please let us know. If you have a particular occupation that you would like to discuss with the children, please also let the staff know, (eg. doctor, nurse, dentist, postman, fireman, new mum, etc.).

Big Group Hug

Big Group Hug is an amazing organisation that do so much to support vulnerable families and children, which is a key focus at BWFCC. As always, it is our very generous families that make this such a successful partnership.
