23.01.2022 Our recent Playgroup sessions have been so popular and we have been inundated with bookings for the 3 sessions and so have decided to release a second Tuesday session running from 11.30 am 1.00 pm for the remaining weeks in February (9th, 16th & 23rd). To give everyone a chance to come along, we ask that if you have already enrolled in another session to please allow those who have missed out on attending a chance to book this latest session. Book here: https://www.trybook...ing.com/BOQAV Due to COVID restrictions, we are limited to a maximum of 40 attendees in each session (excluding children under 12 months of age). Therefore we won't be able to take any walk in's on the day. Following the most recent announcement from the Victorian government, masks are again required to be worn by anyone over 12 years of age when attending Playgroup.

03.01.2022 As if 2020 hadn't already thrown us enough curve balls, we are saying goodbye to another two staff members today. Sue E, our beloved childcare educator is retiring after more than 30 years of dedicated service to Lyrebird. Sue has been with us long enough to see more than one generation of families come through the Centre! It will be hard to imagine Lyrebird without her, and we know our childcare families in particular will be so sad to see her go, but we wish Sue all the ver...y best for a well-earned retirement and hope she enjoys this exciting new chapter of life. Ali is also leaving us after being our lovely Wednesday and Friday receptionist for the past 4 years. We know that again, many of our childcare and playgroup families in particular will be sorry to hear this news as Ali has always been such a friendly face to greet them in the morning. Ali is off to study in 2021 and we hope that she will enjoy much success and satisfaction in the pursuit of an entirely new career. Farewell Sue and Ali, we will miss you both!
