Hollins Children's Centre 10 Atlantic Drive, Pakenham, Victoria 3810

Welcome to Hollins Children's Centre, a purpose-built establishment located at 10 Atlantic Drive in Pakenham, Australia. As an esteemed point of interest and school, we strive to provide a stimulating and nurturing environment for children aged 3 and 4.

At Hollins Children's Centre, we believe that learning is most effective when children are encouraged to explore through curiosity and play. Our experienced and qualified educators inspire children's interests through hands-on experiences, ensuring that they have the opportunity to discover, negotiate, take risks, and develop a broader understanding of the world around them.

Our play-based program is designed to be stimulating and developmentally appropriate, catering to the unique needs and interests of each child. We understand the importance of play in children's learning, and it serves as a vital component of our curriculum.

Eligible families can claim the Federal Government's child care subsidy, making our center accessible to a wide range of families. Please note that families are responsible for providing any necessary food for their child.

Our passionate team of educators is dedicated to creating a warm, nurturing, and welcoming environment for all children. We believe in empowering children to problem solve and seek answers, and our play-based learning approach aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework to promote positive outcomes.

Hollins Children's Centre is equipped with purpose-built early education and care rooms, picturesque natural surroundings, and an outdoor play area. We are conveniently located within walking distance to local shops and transport. In addition, we offer additional services such as a maternal health nurse, playgroups, and a toy library.

We take great pride in our connections to the community. Through visits to local libraries and aged care facilities, we provide intergenerational experiences and promote a love for books and literature. As a center committed to sustainability, we educate our children about reducing their carbon footprint through initiatives such as vegetable gardens, a worm farm, and recycling stations.

Excursions and incursions are an integral part of our educational program, exposing children to a variety of experiences and fostering a stronger sense of community. These opportunities include visits to the local library, grandparent and special persons afternoon teas, and music and drumming sessions.

Our specialist programs further enhance children's love for learning, ensuring they are prepared for the future. Rest assured, all our kindergarten teachers hold a Bachelor of Education.

To enroll your child in kindergarten, please complete an expression of interest through Kindergarten Central Registration Officer at Cardinia Shire Council. We also offer the Federal Government's Child Care Subsidy for eligible parents, based on the family's gross weekly income (available for 4-year-old kinder only).

While it is not compulsory, we do offer the option to purchase a hat, t-shirt, and/or jumper for your child.
