Early Years Department - Children's Services

We are centrally located in the heart of Shepparton offering Long Day Care, Three-Year-Old Kindergarten, Four-Year-Old Kindergarten and a Maternal and Child Health Centre. We engage in our local community, through routine and planned excursions. Our location ensures our outings are regular and spontaneous supporting our children’s knowledge and understanding of their world. Our educators are highly skilled, qualified and passionate in providing an inclusive and welcoming environment. Our programs are based on the Early Years Learning Framework and we support and encourage children through play based learning experiences. Each child’s learning and developmental journey is documented and families are engaged and involved throughout this process. We offer flexible routines, with indoor/outdoor experiences where children’s interests are at the forefront of our educational programs. Our Centre supports a separate Four-Year-Old Kindergarten program for 50 children as well as Three-Year-Old Kindergarten. We enjoy regular excursions out and about in our community and our two six-seater prams ensures this is possible for our younger children to take part in the rich education and learning experiences. Approximately 150 families are supported throughout the week between the hours of 7:30am-6:00pm.
