Discover your local early learning centre from our current locations around Melbourne. Each centre offers a nurturing environment with experienced staff and a range of activities designed to support your child's development. Contact us for more information on enrolment and to schedule a tour.
We invite all families to attend an orientation process before commencing at our centres, which is focused on the individual needs of each child and assists them to adjust into a new environment.
How to get started?
Before your child starts her first day, we invite all families to join our orientation. This orientation addresses each child's unique needs and helps them adjust to the new environment. For some children, starting with shorter care periods, such as half days for the first few days, may be beneficial. Gradually increasing to full days can help ease the transition. Depending on how your child adjust, we’ll recommend the best way to help them. We ensure open and ongoing communication to support children as they settle in.
Can I claim CSS with Where We Grow?
Our centres are registered with the Commonwealth Government for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Families can access fee assistance from the Government towards the cost of fees. The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a payment made by the Australian Government to help families with the cost of quality child care and early education. This is paid directly to our centres to reduce your weekly fees.
What’s your arrival/pick up policy?
Upon arrival, families will be assisted to sign in their child on the ipads in the foyer, find their child’s locker and accompany your child into the room. The room leader will settle the child by offering breakfast if it is early or introducing them to an experience in the room. It is important to always say goodbye to your child at drop-off and re-assure them that you will be back later in the day to pick them up. This helps them have a sense of security rather than quickly dropping them off.
How do you deal with separation anxiety?
Our educators will assist your child throughout the class and will communicate through our Kindyhub app. We will send you updates and photos on how your child’s day is progressing. Children adjustment can range from a day or several week or months. It is advisable to say goodbye and assure them that you will be back in the afternoon to pick them up. Give them hug and kiss before departing. Rest assured that our educators will be there to help in every step of the way.
What kind of activities do you have?
Here at Where We Grow, we try to make sure to conduct various extra-curricular activities that’s beneficial to children. These activities promote physical, social, and cognitive development. We offer art and craft sessions, music and movement classes, outdoor play, and educational games. Each activity is designed to be fun and engaging, helping children learn and grow in a supportive environment.
