Bayswater Early Education Centre VIC

Kindergarten is a unique time for learning  with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program has school readiness at its core, encouraging active engagement in learning and supporting a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity. Programs are play-based, child-driven and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach with a strong emphasis on nature and outdoor learning experiences. Educators carefully design environments that stimulate curiosity and provide opportunities for hands-on learning experiences that are reflective of real life. Visiting child care centres offers valuable insights and opportunities to ask questions, which makes it easier to decide which service is right for your family.
Many of our educators have been with the centre for several years and bring a wealth of knowledge about the children, families, and local community. What stands out most is their genuine passion for what they do. This  is a team that shows up boronia childcare every day with care, professionalism, and a commitment to quality early education. I come from a family of teachers and was always surrounded by strong, positive role models in education.

Our centre offers high-quality care and educational programs for children aged 6 months to 6 years. As you enter our Nursery space, you are immediately transported to a calm oasis. The early learning rooms are filled with soft lighting, textural furnishings, and carefully curated niches where Educators and children can spend quality time together in small groups.

I had to follow up via call after pickup the day of and was told they "had no idea" and they'd "follow up" and call me back. After a week of no contact from the centre I sent an email regarding unenrolling my child as I felt his health and safety were not concerning to them and felt as though they were sweeping it all under the rug. Only to organise a phone call for a half-assed apology and no responsibility. Thankyou Karen for neglecting my child and accepting no accountability. I want to say BIG THANK YOU to all childcare educators at PLAY childcare especially Maddison and Lely in nursery 1 for taking care of my baby.

Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year.
