The Infants' Home

We have 3 beautiful childcare centres in Ashfield, with spaces available now! Our aim is to provide each child every opportunity.

Our learning and support programs help young children and their families meet life’s challenges, embrace opportunities, and reach their unique potential – whatever their background or circumstance. Since 1874 we have challenged conventional wisdom to protect children at risk and strengthen families in vulnerable situations so they can break the cycle of hardship, fear or hopelessness.

Zone 03 Sensory Play invites discovery through a variety of sensory experiences.
Multiple nodes with different characteristics create places to learn, seek, and find refuge. Outcomes include a learning node, a sensory discovery trail, prospect and refuge nodes, and seating space.

We regularly invite our children into nature walks and outdoor play in our extensive outdoor spaces to support their learning, physical development and wellbeing.

Lately, soccer on the main lawn has been a favourite. When our Johnson House children saw children from Gorton House enjoying a soccer game from their veranda, Educator Janice asked Gorton House Educator Deepa if Johnson House could join in, sparking shared play across the Houses. ⚽🌿

Together, children discussed how they felt: some wanted extra practice to build confidence; others valued participation and enjoyment over scoring goals.

In October, the children proudly wore their favourite soccer team jerseys for the first friendly inter-House match—and they haven’t stopped asking for the next game!

An exciting and fun second match took place this week, deepening children’s physical wellbeing, social connections, cooperation and a strong sense of community. 🧡

Join the conversation: What helps your child feel confident trying new things?

While The Infants’ Home was a residential facility (up until 1972), our staff always made a special effort to celebrate Christmas with the resident children. In the early 1900s, each year some of our organisation’s meagre budget was set aside to buy gifts for the children. Throughout the 60s and 70s, there was always a visiting Santa to The Infants’ Home, and today Santa has star billing at our annual Carols by Twilight event for our families and community.

We are devastated by the terrible and senseless events that unfolded at Bondi Beach yesterday evening.

The news of this event will reverberate in the coming days and weeks as we seek to make sense of this act of violence and terror. We understand that some children may see media coverage of this event, or hear it being discussed, and they may feel frightened, anxious, or distressed.

Some ways to help your child if they are impacted by this (or any other) distressing event include:
🔹Find out what they think or understand about the event and give them simple and brief factual information using age-appropriate language.
🔹Check in on and acknowledge your child’s feelings and reassure them that these are ok.
🔹Remind them that they are safe and cared for, and that there are people in the community to protect and help them and others, such as police, paramedics, nurses and doctors.
🔹Keep home routines predictable as a familiar schedule helps create a sense of security.

Our thoughts and hopes are with all who have been impacted by this dreadful tragedy.
