We have proudly served the Camden Haven community for over 40 years.

Our service is operated under the governance of the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Church – Diocese of Lismore, with local management provided by the Parish of St. Peter the Fisherman. The day-to-day operation of the service is overseen by the Nominated Supervisor.

Our Nominated Supervisor and team of educators are committed to ensuring full compliance with the Education and Care Services National Law and Regulations, and to upholding the highest standards of early childhood education and care.
