Holsworthy Long Day and Occasional care centre To display an accredited, modern and exciting long day and occasional care centre. Provide families and the community with information or resources

Holsworthy Long Day and Occasional Care Centre was established as a community based centre that has been providing quality care for both civilian and Defence Force families since 1980. It originally was established by Mrs Brigadier Marlene Jeffreys who set the Occasional Care Centre for the wives of soldiers as both a support centre for them and an early childhood educational centre for their chil

dren. Being situated on defence Force land, throughout the years Holsworthy maintained close ties with the Defence forces while at the same time opening the doors to the civilian population in line with Defence Forces Policy and Department of Community Services Policy. Our reputation as a high quality, early childhood education centre has spread throughout the area so that we have families travelling from all over the district to attend our centre. Holsworthy Long Day and Occasional Care Centre officially opened on 12th December 1994 on the site of 2 Lighthorse Parade at Holsworthy. The centre became Holsworthy Long Day and Occassional Care Centre in 2006. This was to cater for the needs of the families in surrounding and further community.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL PARENTS/CARERS OF
4 YEAR OLD CHILDREN
Dear Parent/Carer,
RE: STATEWIDE EYESIGHT PRESCHOOLER SCREENING (StEPS)
The state wide Eyesight preschooler screening (StEPS) program is an initiative of the NSW Ministry of
health and offers all 4 year old children going to school next year a free vision screening assessment.
It is highly recommended all 4 year old children participate in the vision screening program as
many vision problems remain undetected unless a child's vision is screened by a trained vision
screener.
Your child's vision will be screened one eye at a time and no drops will be used.
The StEPS program is for screening purposes only. Screening tests, checks and examinations may
not always be accurate and sometimes a screening may cause a false alarm or miss a problem.
Occasionally a new problem may occur after a child has had their vision screened. For this reason,
if you have concerns about your child's eyes, either now or at any time in the future, please have
your child's eyes fully tested by an eye health professional.
All parents/carers of children who have their vision screened through the StEPS program will be
informed of the results of their child's vision screening assessment.
Should a vision problem be detected parents/carers will receive a letter asking them to have their
child's vision fully tested by an eye health professional.
Please complete and sign the attached consent form and return it to your child care centre as soon
as possible so that a trained vision screener can test your child's eyes.
NSW Ministry of Health is committed to treating all personal information in accordance with
privacy law. The leaflet enclosed explains how and why South Western Sydney Local Health District
needs to collect personal information about you and your child, how you can access this
information, how the information will be used within the Local Health District or disclosed to
other parties.
More information available through the QR code in multiple languages.
Thank you for participating inthe StEPS program.
If you have any questions regarding the StEPS program, please contact:
Lois RILEY StEPS Coordinator 02 8738978
