Community Relationships

At Gymea Pre-Kindergarten we believe that building strong relationships with our local community is extremely important to enhance children’s, families and educators’ sense of belonging.

We are proud ongoing supporters of the Dandelion Support Network located in Caringbah and participate in a number of donation drives, volunteer days and fundraisers to help support this foundation throughout the year.

We plan a wide variety of community/social events to ensure we are maintaining our relationships and providing the opportunity for families to socialise outside our service.
