About the Business
Welcome to Whittlesea Childcare Centre | Journey Early Learning, located at Egret Place in Whittlesea, Australia. Our establishment is not just a school, but a point of interest for families seeking a warm and homely early learning centre that inspires adventure and joy.
At Journey Whittlesea, we believe in designing our centre around your little explorer and their play-based learning. Our recently renovated outdoor play space is a haven for children, featuring a large sandpit, fort, and a bike track that wraps all the way around it. We have also incorporated native gardens, rock beds, wooden bridges, and a brand new edible garden maintained by our little explorers and educators. Additionally, our undercover stage is where we run our mindfulness yoga sessions every Monday.
We take pride in venturing out and about, connecting with various local community services and exploring our natural environment through Bush Kinder. We believe in inspiring our little adventurers and preparing them for school, which is why we have partnered with St Mary's, a local school in Whittlesea, to run a school readiness program. Together, we also engage in a sustainability project, collaborating on the planting and growing of our own gardens.
As an active member of the Whittlesea community, our centre participates regularly in local fetes and markets. We value community engagement and strive to create a nurturing environment for our children to learn and grow.
To assist families in understanding their government entitlements, we have designed a helpful Child Care Subsidy calculator, which you can find on our website. If you need any assistance, we are here to chat – simply book an appointment below.
But don't just take our word for it. Here's what some of our parents have to say:
- "My little one has been going to Journey Whittlesea for 6 months now, and I'm so proud of how much she has learnt already. The girls in the nursery room treat her like she's their own. My daughter absolutely loves going to daycare, and that's a testament to the great educators she has."
- "Great centre, my daughter and son are very happy. Love the Storypark highlights and seeing photos every day, lots of events, and staff are friendly."
- "The staff are always so friendly and accommodating. They always make you feel welcome walking into any of their rooms, and you know that your children are in the best of hands. Storypark always helps to keep you updated with your children's daily activities, and it's so nice to have these updates."
We believe that children thrive when they have the opportunity to get out and explore nature. Nature-based play is a core part of our curriculum, as it teaches vital life skills such as confidence, independence, exploration, and cooperation. Playing outside also promotes health and wellbeing, while instilling a sense of respect for the environment.
Join us at Whittlesea Childcare Centre | Journey Early Learning, where we strive to create a nurturing and inspiring environment for your little adventurers.

Reviews
"The growth I have seen in my daughter since joining Journey has exceeded our expectations. The educators and management always go that extra mile providing a safe, fun and educational care"
"My daughter started in the nursery room this year in April, she has settled into the room beautifully. The staff have been so amazing, and treat her as one of their own. I can honestly see how much love they all have for the children in that room."
"My little one has been going to journey whittlesea for 6months now and I’m So proud of how much she has learnt already. The girls in the nursery room treat her like she’s their own. My daughter absolutely loves going to day care and that a testament to the great educators she has."
"Journey Whittlesea offers genuine care for each child. A wonderful atmosphere, and well equipped and planned play and learning experiences. Whole healthy food is prepared on site daily and communication is excellent. We love that it is not just a child minding service. Thank you journey staff old and new. We appreciate you."
"The quality and value of learning at this centre is something that has really captured me and made me confident and comfortable in sending my son there. The activities that are implemented to promote learning, both inside the classroom and outside have really developed my sons awareness and attention to the little things! Particularly, activities such as mindful Mondays, where the children do Yoga has really been embraced within our household. Throughout lockdown children are still included in home learning activities through video interaction and learning activities that are very engaging. The most important aspect for me was the staff, to ensure my son was welcomed somewhere he would feel safe, and this centre delivered beyond my expectations! Not only did we both feel welcome and safe, the staff made us feel like family, always enthusiastic and happy to see us. We are truly made to feel like a family."
