Delacombe Childcare Centre | Journey Early Learning Ballarat

Welcome to Delacombe Childcare Centre | Journey Early Learning Ballarat! Located at Delacombe, Glenelg Highway, 330, our centre is a point of interest and establishment in Australia. From peek-a-boo to prep, we are here every step of the way, providing a safe and secure environment for your child's development.

At our centre, we understand that school transition is a major focus for families. That's why we work hard to ensure a smooth process, helping children develop confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self for their school journey ahead. Our Kindergarten classrooms are intentionally designed by our Teachers to align with the Journey Standards and the Early Years Learning Framework and Curriculum. Our Government Approved Funded 3 and 4-Year-Old Kindergarten Classrooms are run by ACCEQA approved Early Childhood Teachers and Qualified Educators. Children enrolling in our 4-Year-Old Kinder Program receive ongoing support from teachers through our School Readiness Program.

Did you know that your child can attend Journey from 6 weeks to their first day of school? We also provide a helpful Child Care Subsidy calculator on our website to help you discover more about your government entitlements.

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Beth, the Centre Manager at Journey Early Learning Delacombe. With over 20 years of experience in the Early Childhood sector and a diploma in Children's Services, I am passionate about creating a welcoming and supportive community for families, children, and educators. I am excited to show you around our purpose-built Early Learning Centre.

But don't just take our word for it, hear what some of our parents have to say:

"First time parents and we could not be more satisfied with the service and care received by the staff at Nursery 2. From Day 1, they have ensured to dedicate time for our son to properly adapt, and we as parents receive regular updates through the Storypark app, including learning progress and routines. Safe to say we're sticking to Journey in Delacombe to the end." - Emmanuel

"THE BEST childcare I have seen. The amount of innovative ideas we get to see here is just mind-blowing. Our son loves it here right from day 1. As parents, we are so much comfortable sending our son here. The centre itself is clean and has amazing staff." - George

At Journey Early Learning Delacombe, we believe in interacting and connecting with the local community. This ensures a bond is maintained between the children and the community, creating a sense of familiarity and belonging. We also prioritize nature-based play as a core part of our curriculum. It teaches children vital life skills such as confidence, independence, exploration, and cooperation, while promoting health and wellbeing and teaching them respect for the environment.

We invite you to visit our wonderful centre and meet our dedicated team. Together, let's create a nurturing and enriching environment for your child's early learning journey.
