Child Care Bayswater North

Our Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher delivers a Government-approved Kindergarten/Preschool program. We offer a Bush Kinder program on Wednesdays and whole-centre excursions to explore the community, local library, and schools. We also offer a music and dance program to enrich the children’s learning experience. Our early learning centre offers the VIC Government-approved Kindergarten program, supporting your child’s development and well-being from now, at school and beyond. In Victoria, 3 and 4-year-old children are able to access a funded kindergarten program led by a Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher.
Most of our child care and early education centres offer nappies and wipes, sunscreen and hats, as well as nutritious meals prepared by our in-house cook. Some centres also provide sheets and formula, so you may not need to remember to pack them. Our families love hearing about their child’s progress day care bayswater and the experiences they’re having day to day. We share these moments through centre newsletters, our Xplor App, one-on-one meetings, and at various centre events.

As a dedicated childcare photographer, I love visiting Bayswater’s kindergartens and childcare centres, providing a relaxed and  fun experience for the little ones. The welcoming atmosphere of Bayswater aligns perfectly with my gentle approach, ensuring children feel comfortable and happy while I photograph them in their familiar play environments. Our centre features engaging indoor and outdoor learning environments, designed to spark curiosity, creativity and a love for learning.
I provide vibrant and natural photography services for childcare centres and kindergartens in Bayswater, focusing on those precious moments of play on the swings, slides, and climbing frames. All our kindergarten and preschool programs run every day of the week. This means families have the flexibility for their child/ren to receive the highest quality learning experiences on days that best support them. The qualified and committed teams at our local child care centres in Outer East Melbourne ensure that every child’s learning journey is filled with fun, discovery and purpose. Watch the video to discover how our learning framework supports every step from birth to five. Our nursery room is purposely designed to make every baby feel safe exploring and discovering new things.
Reem loves that her classroom is full of different and interesting books – some words she’s seen before but others are new! Our Kindergarten program is developed from the National  Early Years Learning Framework and The Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework. The best way to find the Kindergarten that’s right for your child and your family is to begin with the end in mind. Local schools, shops and transport are all within walking distance of the centre, which is located in a quiet suburban street with a horseshoe shaped driveway for easy drop off and pickup. Mary Oliver asked “What will you do with your one wild and precious life”, I cannot think of anything more fulfilling than what I get to do every day at Nido.

As a photographer passionate about capturing childhood in its element, I love documenting the laughter and exploration that unfolds in the outdoor spaces of Bayswater‘s early learning centres. Hillcrest Primary School is proudly an Independent Public School since 2020. Our specialist areas of Sustainability and Media Arts supports our vision of ‘future-focused learning’. As a school without a local intake area, we pride ourselves on being the “school of choice” for many families. Enrolments are considered and accepted based on proximity to the school and availability.
This breaks down to $161 per day for babies, $154 per day for toddlers and $154 per day for kindergarten. We also work closely with external professionals and support agencies to ensure that children with additional needs and their families are included, supported, and empowered to participate fully in both home and centre life. Local primary schools come to our kinder and get the children to participate in educational activities and talk about primary school. We have a sustainability leader who oversees our sustainability initiatives across the service. The children are involved in recycling projects in the rooms, including reduce, reuse and recycle activities.

Our Centres are home to different services for children and families. Find out more about our Centres, including accessibility information. Our educational programs enhance children’s knowledge of the natural environment and how to reduce our environmental footprint. Our children, families and staff are culturally and linguistically diverse and we work with our families to ensure the cultures of children and their families are recognised within our programs.
Parents are invited to stay for the first 15 minutes of each session to read a book or do a puzzle with their child, after which a bell will be rung to signal the start of the session. We've found 7 Preschools and kindergardens in Bayswater, with 4 having vacancies for your little one.
Our qualified Early Childhood Teachers, registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), create a play-based environment that nurtures creativity, problem-solving, and resilience. St Columba’s Pre-Kindergarten is an educational program available to children who have already turned three years of age. The program is an introduction to our  school community, providing a meaningful play-based learning experience whilst nurturing and developing the individual needs of the child in a safe and caring environment. Our Learning Journey Curriculum is designed to be emergent in nature and is guided by the children's interests and incorporates their voice in decision making of experiences provided in our indoor and outdoor environments. Our kindergarten programs are tailored to meet your child’s individual learning needs across numeracy, literacy, emotional and social development, resilience, and self-regulation. Sessional Kindergarten programs don’t typically include meals which are standard in almost all early learning and child care services, so you will be required to provide your own food.
