Ashwood Children's Centre

Welcome to Ashwood Children's Centre, a community-based establishment located in Ashwood, Australia. Situated on Yooralla Street, our center is dedicated to providing exceptional early childhood education and care services for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.

At Ashwood Children's Centre, we believe in acknowledging and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the land we occupy. We pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nations, and recognize that sovereignty has never been ceded. We value and embrace diversity in all its forms, as we believe it strengthens our community.

As a not-for-profit institution, our primary focus is on creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can develop a sense of belonging and thrive. Our dedicated team of educators strives to uphold the highest standards of early childhood education and care, ensuring that each child feels confident to explore, learn, and grow.

We understand that a sense of belonging and secure, nurturing interactions are fundamental to a child's learning and development. Therefore, our educator team develops and implements play-based programs tailored to each child's individual interests, needs, and learning abilities. These programs enable children to develop their physical, social, emotional, language, and intellectual skills.

From the moment families discover Ashwood Children's Centre, we are honored to be a part of their early childhood journey. Whether it's the first visit to our center or the exciting farewell as children transition to primary school, we are committed to providing exceptional care and education for your child and family.

At Ashwood Children's Centre, we surpass the minimum standards for educator to children ratios in all our age-based rooms. We take pride in offering an excellent transition to school through our quality 3yo and 4yo Kinder Programs. For sessional enrolments, we participate in the Monash Council Enrolment Program, ensuring a seamless and high-quality education experience.

Our commitment to excellence is evident through our involvement in the Monash Golden Plate awards, where we have received 5-star ratings and excellent results in internal and external audits. We are grateful to the Monash City Council for their support, as they own our land and buildings, providing regular maintenance and managing the Kindergarten Central Enrolment Scheme for sessional Kinder positions.

Our passionate team of early childhood teachers and educators is dedicated to providing exceptional education and care to all children attending our center. We strongly believe in family involvement and actively encourage participation in our center activities. Run by a volunteer committee of parents, Ashwood Children's Centre values the input and support of our families.

We would like to express our gratitude to the City of Monash for their support in delivering early childhood education and care services to our community. Their provision of the land and buildings in which Ashwood Children's Centre operates is invaluable.

With four separate age-based rooms, Ashwood Children's Centre ensures that each child receives high-quality care and education appropriate for their age. We are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can flourish and reach their full potential.
