Our Facilities
A Positive And Rewarding Environment.
Our centre has been designed to create a positive and rewarding environment for children to learn, develop, play and form social bonds. Each children’s room incorporates all the facilities children and educators need to ensure optimal learning and development opportunities and outcomes. Our natural outdoor environment includes vegetable gardens, digging patches and sandpits with the outdoor play areas being divided across children’s age and development.
Our Passionate And Dedicated Team
An Impressive Range Of Skills, Qualifications And Experience
At Equip Early Learning Centre we believe our team of early childhood educators are one of our most valuable assets and we could not achieve our goals, or honour our philosophies, without their knowledge, support and hard work. Our team understand the responsibility that comes with the role of an educator and are committed to ensuring that every child not only enjoys their time with us, but is exposed to every available developmental and learning opportunity.
Our team of educators bring an impressive range of skills, qualifications and experience, ensuring every child is supported in their learning and personal needs. Our educators participate in regular professional development, mentoring and first aid training in order to remain at the top of their profession. As a ‘feeder’ to many of the local primary schools our early childhood teacher attends regular kinder networking meetings to ensure the kinder children receive a seamless transition to school.
Accredited Kinder Program
Fully Funded And Approved Kindergarten
Equip Early Learning Centre is a proud provider of the Victorian Government’s Free Kinder initiative.
This means you will receive a Free Kinder saving of up to $2,101 on your out-of-pocket fees.
Free Kinder means all children receive 2 years of a high-quality kindergarten program before they start school. Enrolling your child in a kindergarten program for 2 years can help develop their skills so they do well in life and school.
Free Kinder is for everyone. You do not need to be an Australian citizen to receive Free Kinder.
Free Kinder is available if your child attends either our Three-Year-Old Kindergarten program for 15 hours per week on Tuesday and Thursday each week or Four-Year-Old Kindergarten program for 15 hours per week on Monday and Wednesday each week.
If your child is enrolled in our kindergarten program, you will receive a savings from your out-of-pocket fees. We will apply these savings to your weekly invoices during school terms.
Remember, you can only enrol your child in one funded kindergarten or Pre-Prep program at any one time.
