About Us

 

Welcome to Shellharbour Kids!

Our Mission
At Shellharbour Kids, our mission is to empower parents, carers, and the community with comprehensive information and resources to support the development and well-being of children from birth to 12 years of age. We strive to create a supportive online community where information and resources are readily accessible to all families and professionals within Shellharbour City and beyond.

Who We Are
Shellharbour Kids is a local initiative supported by Shellharbour City Council, Barnardos Australia, and the Australian Government under the Communities for Children Initiative. Our website was launched in 2009 with the goal of providing a centralized platform for parenting advice, local childcare options, community events, and developmental resources.

What We Do
We offer a wide range of features, including:

  • Community Event Listings: Stay updated with local happenings and opportunities for family engagement.
  • Resource Directories: From childcare providers to support groups, find all the local resources you could need.
  • Educational Content: Articles and blogs covering a broad spectrum of parenting topics such as nutrition, health, education, and play.
  • Special Programs: Including forums and workshops designed to support specific community needs like the “Go4Fun” health programs and support for young fathers through “Young Dads Doing Alright”.

Our Team
Our team is made up of dedicated professionals from various backgrounds, including child development, education, nutrition, and community outreach. We are passionate about making a difference in the lives of children and families and are committed to providing the best information and resources available.
