The affordable and culturally appropriate full day care
centre and pre-school caters for up to 69 children, many of which are Indigenous.
However, Murawina also accepts non-Indigenous children from the local
community.
The ILC recognises the existing Murawina lease arrangement
and is honouring the NSW Government’s
commitment to retain the Child Care Centre on site for a further 26 years.
Tonette Simpson, Murawina’s
CEO looks forward to the new opportunities of an integrated facility and
believes that Murawina’s early
childhood programs complement the work of the other organisations involved in
the Centre.
This Fact Sheet was
part of the Media Kit at the Media Conference on 11 July 2006 to announce the
ILC would proceed to purchase the former Redfern Public School
site and establish a National Indigenous Development Centre.
