Welcome to Northern Rivers Children’s Services Limited (NRCS). From humble beginning over 40 years ago, we have grown into the largest community owned organisation in the Northern Rivers that provides a range of care, welfare and education services. NRCS is a non-profit Company funded by the Commonwealth Department of Education and parent fees.

The Association was formally incorporated in 1986, but has been operating since February 1980 (as Lismore District Family Day Care Inc). Beginning with a few FDC Educators in Lismore, we now operate the following services:

Northern Rivers Family Day Care

Northern Rivers Family Day Care, one of the largest FDC schemes in NSW with around 170 Registered Educators providing care for up to 2000 children per week from Tweed Heads to Coraki south of Lismore.
