The Avenue Children's Centre & Kindergarten

"Highly recommend The Avenue. We moved our kids here from another (big chain) centre and have been so impressed with the quality of care. The educators really care about the children, organise great activities (eg musicians, bush kinder, cultural celebrations) and are excellent communicators. It's such a lovely place"

"The Avenue is a second home for my daughter and son (whi have attended since babies), and they genuinely look forward to attending each day which gives us peace of mind regarding their care and well-being. The centre is very well located, offers everything that children need to grow and develop over their formative years, and the educators are warm, friendly, and highly experienced. The food provided is well-planned, nutritious, and appealing to children. We’ve certainly seen our children flourish at the centre and highly recommend to others in the area!"

"I have found The Avenue to be the most caring, homely environment for my three young boys. It is the kind of environment they can explore, grow, be creative and get close to nature all in one place. I love the fact they offer a Bush Kinder program at the 4 year old kinder level. The staff are all amazingly caring and there is a real sense of community given the Centre's long history in the area and small size. Highly recommend for babies all the way up to kinder programs."

"After moving to the area, we heard about The Avenue's wonderful reputation from other local parents. We are lucky to now have two children there. Our children love The Avenue and the kind, supportive staff. Our children have grown so much since attending the centre. The centre has low staff turnover so our children think of the staff as a second family. The education standards are high and include bush kinder and frequent excursions, such as to Melbourne Museum and to local parks. They have a great chef, Miguel, who prepares wonderful, healthy meals."

"The Avenue is like a home away from home for my son. He feels at ease and supported; he learns and thrives through play, educational activities and bush kinder adventures; he has a sense of responsibility and importance through daily tasks like being the lunch monitor; he gains confidence by presenting something fun at news day; his body is nourished by the incredible meals served daily (often including ingredients grown by the children); he tries all sorts of new foods that he'd never touch at home; and his absolute adoration of the teachers is testament to just how much the childcare you choose needs to feel like an extension of your family. If you're looking for a space where your child can enjoy being the best version of themselves in these crucial early years, I encourage you to consider The Avenue."
