About Dorset Early Learning & Kindergarten
Welcome to Dorset Early Learning & Kindergarten, a family-run institution located on Dorset Road in Croydon, Australia. Our dedicated Service Director, Mel, along with our team of qualified educators, is committed to providing a safe, supportive, fun, and educational environment for children aged from 6 weeks to 5 years.
At Dorset Early Learning & Kindergarten, we believe in incorporating the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) into our curriculum. Our programs are based on children's current interests, fostering their social and emotional development, creativity, motor skills, cognitive abilities, and independence through play.
As a play-based center, we provide a learning environment that combines both indoor and outdoor activities. Our facility is a Sunsmart center, ensuring that children can play in large, shaded areas all year round. We also have a community garden with chickens, vegetable gardens, a bush tucker garden, composting, and worm farms, allowing children to learn about caring for the environment.
Our team of Qualified Educators prioritizes building strong and respectful relationships with both the children and their families. We understand the importance of the first five years of a child's life and strive to support their growth and development during this crucial period.
At Dorset Early Learning, we prioritize creating a safe and secure environment for both children and their families. Our educators ensure that every child feels a sense of belonging, and we provide regular, up-to-date communication about their daily routines and learning opportunities.
We invite you to take a virtual walk-through of Dorset Early Learning & Kindergarten, starting from our entrance and exploring our foyer, Kinder room, butterfly room, and caterpillar room. Don't forget to wander through our amazing large natural outdoor play areas.
Physical activity is an essential part of our programs, as it helps children develop stronger bones and muscles and lowers their risk of injuries. We understand that the future is uncertain, with developments in globalization and AI, and we aim to prepare children for whatever lies ahead.
Having difficult conversations with children about topics like death, disease, divorce, and disasters can be challenging. However, we believe it is an essential task and are here to support families through these conversations.
But don't just take our word for it. Here are some testimonials from our satisfied parents:
- "The incredible staff at Dorset ELK have been caring for our kids for over 4 years now, and we could not ask for better carers, educators, mentors, and role models. It is such a wonderful community atmosphere, and everyone is so friendly and easy to talk to. We love the Dorset family and couldn't recommend them higher."
- "Our child has been enrolled at Dorset Early Learning for more than a year now, and the whole team has been fantastic. The staff always have the children's best interests at heart, and our son looks forward to his time at the center every morning. We highly recommend Dorset Early Learning."
- "I highly recommend this center. All the educators are approachable, caring, and helpful. A very friendly atmosphere."
- "Dorset Early Learning and Kindergarten is such a warm and friendly environment. The educators are professional and get to know the individual needs of each child.

Reviews of Dorset Early Learning & Kindergarten
"Absolutely recommended. Educators are always available to discuss and support our family. Our child loves attending and enjoying all the activities and making friends. Open, friendly, and a warm, inviting atmosphere."
"Our little one started here at 6 month's and has been part of the Dorset family for over three years. They really do become like family. Mel that runs the Centre is beyond amazing! The early educators are truely wonderful, and bring so much warmth, enthusiasm and knowledge to every room there. We love all the extra activities that are brought in to the centre, the outdoor play and the animals that the kids are able to interact with. The meals are made fresh on the premises and are always delicious (says our little one!) We cannot reccomend this place enough."
"Our son has absolutely loved his time here so far. We as parents couldn't be happier with the staff and facilities. I couldn't recommend Mel and her team enough. It's personable and they are always honest and open with any issues they are faced with. i.e illness, behavioral etc. They always have strict policy and solution."
"Homely environment. Child/Teacher interactions are awesome. Always keep you up to date with how your child's day has been. Extremely accommodating to special dietary needs. BIG Thank you to Mel and the staff for the many years of looking after our kids. A+"
"I visited the centre a while ago, went there about lunch time. It was messy and dirty. I saw all the food was lying on the big table and orange slices too. It was BIg mess, dirty!"
