Families are at the heart of Sunnylea Childcare Centre

We believe strong partnerships between parents, educators, and the community create the best experiences for children.

We use LILLIO

We use Lillio, a secure parent communication app, to keep families informed and connected. Parents receive real-time updates, photos, announcements, and reminders directly from their child’s classroom. All essential documents and forms are stored in Lillio for easy access.

fundraising

Our fundraising efforts help us enhance the children’s learning environment —from new classroom materials to outdoor play improvements and special activities. Families are encouraged to participate in events and initiatives throughout the year, whether by donating time, ideas, or resources.

GET INVOLVED

Parents can get involved in many ways, including volunteering in classrooms, helping at events, or joining our Board of Directors. Board members play an important role in guiding the centre’s direction and ensuring we continue to deliver high-quality, accessible care.
