Dandenong Early Learning Pathways: Our Programs
Childcare for Busy Families
Your little one will thrive in our centre’s warm, playful environment, where they can engage in activities tailored to their needs. Our educators go beyond routine care, providing personalised support and guidance, encouraging exploration, and fostering growth while celebrating individuality and diversity.
Dandenong 3-Year-Old Kindergarten
Our 3-year-old kindergarten program offers the perfect place for your child to discover knowledge through play-based experiences.
During the day, our qualified and passionate teachers guide your child through engaging activities and imaginative exploration. We focus on:
- Social & Emotional Development: Building friendships, expressing emotions, and discovering valuable communication skills in a safe and supportive environment.
- Early Literacy & Numeracy: Introducing letter recognition, basic counting, and a love for reading through interactive games and engaging activities.
- Learning Through Play: Encouraging curiosity, exploration, and a love for discovery through age-appropriate play, music, and art.
As part of our Dandenong Early Learning program, your children can continue their day with enriching activities and social interaction until 6:30pm.
Dandenong 4-Year-Old Kindergarten
Our program, under the direction of our qualified teachers, attends to each child’s particular needs and assists them to:
- Reach their full potential through personalised guidance.
- Secure a strong foundation in social and emotional skills, and be ready for new friendships and challenges.
- Exceed expectations with a hands-on, play-based approach that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and early literacy skills.
Sports Program
Children are fostered to build their individual confidence, emotional resilience and a sense of identity through participating in our weekly sports program. Led by passionate, energetic and quality coaches, the program is delivered to cover a wide variety of sports, games and experiences to foster your child’s holistic development.
Fun is the core value of offering our Sports program, however, engaging children in these sessions encourages your child to further develop their communication skills, feel a sense of community and build the foundations of respect, teamwork and a healthy lifestyle.
Acknowledging every child is unique, our sports program prides themselves on working with smaller groups, ensuring each child receives individual focus to grow and build their skills throughout the year.
Bush Kindergarten Program
We believe in nurturing not only young minds but also our planet. That’s why our Bush Kindergarten Program is delivered outdoors through natural environments. It gives children a unique opportunity and freedom to learn through play with natural materials in outdoor environments. We visit metropolitan parks, local bushland, community surroundings and visitor sites. By increasing the amount of time children spend outdoors and in natural environments our Bush Kindergarten program improves children’s connections to nature which encourages their knowledge and commitments to environmental sustainability.

How We Learn
The design of our centre fuels your child’s natural curiosity! Each room delivers a mix of structured activities and open-ended play that encourages your child to explore, discover, and learn. We celebrate individuality, culture, community which support us in adapting our teaching approach to each child’s unique style, energy levels and needs. This allows them to blossom at their own pace, building confidence and a love for the discovery of the world around them.
Where We Play
Our centre aims to be a home, away from home for your child, where we endeavour for our play spaces to foster each child in feeling connected to their community, culture and family.
We’ve crafted natural, engaging, well-equipped indoor and outdoor spaces designed to spark your child’s imagination and nurture their development.
From cosy nooks for toddlers to wide-open areas for little explorers, each room is tailored to specific age groups and developmental stages. Whether climbing, building, water play, or simply making friends, your child will find endless opportunities to play, explore, and learn through hands-on experiences.
What we eat
All our healthy meals and snacks are cooked and prepared daily onsite in our fully equipped kitchen. We use a four-week rotating menu seasonally, with culturally appropriate meals that offer a range of dishes from around the world which is always on display in our centre. All the meals we provide for your child include the following:
- Breakfast
- Morning tea
- Lunch
- Afternoon tea
- A late snack.
We understand the essential need to nourish each little one in our care. We provide formula for babies up to 12 months at no cost to you. We currently use one trusted brand within the centre, ensuring consistency and quality.
Provide your preferred formula:
- If you prefer a different brand, bring it to your child’s educators.
- Breastfeeding babies is warmly welcomed! We follow our comprehensive breastfeeding policy to ensure a supportive and comfortable environment for mothers and babies.
