Our Village is like a home away from home!

Stage one of the St Anthony’s Family Care’s site redevelopment was the building of a brand new purpose built early learning Centre. With 4 impressive Moreton Bay Fig trees providing shade and excitement in our outdoor learning environment the decision was made to call our new Centre FIGTREE.

 Figtree Early Learning Centre is based on an inclusive education model which offers education and care to children aged 0 to 5 years. The Centre provides programs to meet the needs of both typically developing children and children with additional needs with a specific focus on supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Figtree Early Learning Centre is licensed by the NSW Department of Education and is able to offer 86 places per day. The service is open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6pm. Please call us on 9747 5782 to take a tour.

Stage two of the St Anthony’s Family Care’s site redevelopment was the building of the Disability Services Activity Centre as well as three cottages for Short Term Accommodation for children with a disability. 

The new village will enable St Anthony’s to expand its range of services and support more children and young people in the local community to work towards achieving their greatest potential in life. 

Our EPIK Disability Service is a great way to help children up to 16 years of age work towards achieving goals in a safe and fun environment that encourages socialising and personal growth.

EPIK services offer a range of activities, both in our purpose-built centre and in the community, that can help children develop a range of skills and experiences.

These activities could include learning a new skill, exploring a new hobby, and having fun with peers.

EPIK Disability Services also provides a social atmosphere for children to form relationships, build their confidence, and make positive connections with their peers.

The Forge Disability Service program is like the ultimate launchpad for young adults, especially those transitioning from school to the next chapter of their lives, from 16 years to 25 years old.

Forge isn’t just a program—it’s a game-changer for young adults with disabilities, and for parents who want to see their children thrive. Forge really is a cool, safe space where they can spread their wings, meet awesome people, and grow in ways they never imagined.

We have also built a new Administration building for our growing team to occupy soon…
