Our History

Our Mission
Paramount Family Centre (PFC) is a Christian childcare centre that embraces every child as a unique gift from God, nurturing the holistic development of children in an environment of kindness, respect and forgiveness. We foster a community of creative and compassionate playmates who treat others as they would want to be treated.
Our Philosophy
Paramount Family Centre believes that positive learning for children will enhance a child's level of development. We recognize that each child is an individual therefore we follow the Emergent Approach to play based learning. This stimulating approach focuses holistically on the whole child achieving skills through physical, cognitive, language, emotional, social and spiritual development. These skills are tools for life.
Our Guiding Principles
