Aurrum Kids Childcare Mornington

Welcome to Aurrum Kids Childcare Mornington, located in the beautiful Mornington Peninsula in Australia. Our spacious and light-filled centre is designed to provide the best education and environment for your children.

Situated on the land of the Boonwurrong people, Mornington Aurrum Kids is just 57km southeast of Melbourne. We are conveniently located across the road from the Mornington Botanical Gardens and Art Gallery, and only 5 minutes away from Mornington Beach. This prime location offers a fantastic option for local families seeking quality childcare and early learning.

Our centre features large gabled windows that allow sunlight to flood into our classrooms, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The classrooms open onto a generous playground with all-weather surfaces, covered decks, and a sustainability hub. Our greenhouse and kitchen gardens showcase our commitment to sustainability and provide hands-on learning experiences for the children.

In addition to our custom-built playground, which includes raised garden beds, climbing equipment, a rainbow bike track, water play area, and creek bed, the children also have access to the adjacent parklands and sports fields. This allows them to explore and engage with nature while enjoying outdoor activities.

At Mornington Aurrum Kids, we celebrate and embrace the diversity of cultures represented among our team and students. Throughout the year, we organize various activities and events to promote cultural exchange and understanding. We also offer the unique opportunity for intergenerational engagement through our Grandfriends program, where children build lasting friendships and memories with seniors.

Our on-site cook prepares fresh meals daily in our custom-designed kitchen. We prioritize using seasonal ingredients, many of which are harvested by the children from our herb and vegetable gardens. This not only promotes a healthy and nutritious diet but also allows the children to participate in cooking their own meals and learn about the importance of good nutrition.

Our dedicated educators are carefully selected for their qualifications and experience in early childhood education. They are passionate about sharing their knowledge and experiences with the children, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. We focus on various educational areas and provide a stimulating environment that encourages curiosity and exploration.

At Mornington Aurrum Kids, we understand the importance of keeping families updated on their children's activities, interests, and development. Through our Parent Portal in KinderM8, our teachers and educators regularly communicate with families, fostering a strong partnership between home and the centre.

As part of our commitment to community engagement, we actively involve our children in the vibrant and active community of Mornington. From beach outings to park visits, we encourage our children to connect with and learn from their local environment and community.

We invite you to book a tour at Mornington Aurrum Kids or speak to one of our friendly team members today. At Aurrum Kids, we prioritize building relationships with children, families, and the community, creating a true sense of family and inclusiveness in all our centres.

Our dietician-reviewed menu changes seasonally to provide variety while consistently offering nutritious meals for children. We believe in the importance of food education and regularly involve the children in cooking experiences with our centre-based cooks.

Aurrum Kids is just the beginning of your child's learning pathway. With our play-based approach and the natural resources in our centres, your child will grow, develop, and thrive in a nurturing and enriching environment.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first Australians and custodians of the land.
