Mission Statement
OUR MISSION To provide high quality childcare to families in Waterford City and its environs, that is respectful, convenient, culturally sensitive and which is delivered in a nurturing, fun and caring environment that is accessible to all children, but particularly children of families experiencing poverty and social exclusion.
Description
Williamstown Community Childcare Centre CLG was established in 2002, as a response to an identified need for affordable childcare in the area. A number of local people, community organisations and residents’ associations came together to work on addressing this need. The childcare centre operated mornings only, in a small council house in St Catherine’s Grange and moved to our current purpose-built premises in 2007.
The service, which was originally set up to support the families from Farran Park and St. Catherine’s Grange estates, was extended to the wider community.
