Childcare & Kindergarten Centre

Bacchus Marsh Childcare & Kindergarten Centre provides a high-standard educational environment where children transition from curiosity to school readiness. Since 1990, our family-owned centre has served as a vital stepping stone for local children, offering a curriculum that blends the warmth of home with the structure of professional early education. As the smallest long-day care service in Bacchus Marsh, we ensure every child receives the individual attention necessary to thrive during their most formative years.

Our educational philosophy is anchored in the Victorian Early Years Learning Framework (VEYLF) and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). We believe that play is the most powerful tool for learning, allowing children to experiment, solve problems, and contemplate the world around them. Our educators meticulously document each child's interests and developmental milestones, creating a tailored learning journey that fosters social, emotional, and cognitive growth.

The centre’s "one-stop-shop" model is specifically designed to support the busy lifestyles of Bacchus Marsh families. We offer a seamless path from infancy through to our government-approved kindergarten centre and beyond, including before/after school care and vacation programs. This continuity allows children to build lasting friendships and stable bonds with their educators, which significantly reduces the anxiety often associated with starting primary school.

We are committed to providing an inclusive and culturally respectful environment. By acknowledging the traditional ways of being and caring for children from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and maintaining a non-biased, non-denominational atmosphere, we teach our students the values of respect and tolerance. At Bacchus Marsh Childcare, our mission is to create a safe, encouraging space where children are valued, reassured, and empowered to achieve their full potential.
