Children

While children have always comprised a substantial proportion of the overall population of Sydney, their voices are absent or muffled in many historical records. State intervention in the lives of European and Indigenous children has been constant in Sydney since the colonial period, but children's daily experiences have also been shaped by their families, cultures and surroundings.

Sydney Day Nursery Association

The Sydney Day Nursery Association was established in Woolloomooloo in 1905 as a child care service for infant children of working class mothers. It extended its services to preschool-aged children in 1937, when it changed its name to the Sydney Day Nursery and Nursery Schools Association. In 1999 it became SDN Children's Services.
