Knox Children & Family Centre (Bayswater)

Welcome to Knox Children & Family Centre in Bayswater, Australia! Located at 41 Phyllis Street, our establishment is a point of interest and a health institution that offers a wide range of services for children and their families.

Our Children and Family Centre in Bayswater, along with our centre in Wantirna South, brings together various services all in one convenient location. Our goal is to make it easier for families to access multiple services, providing a seamless experience for parents and children alike.

By housing multiple services under one roof, we ensure that your child's development can be fully supported from an early age through to kindergarten. This eliminates the need for repetitive conversations between families and staff, streamlining the process and saving valuable time.

At Knox Children & Family Centre, we offer a long day care program for children aged from birth to 6 years. Additionally, our sessional kindergarten is funded by the Victorian Government, meaning families do not have to pay fees to attend.

In addition to our Children and Family Centres, Knox City Council also operates sessional kindergartens at other locations across Knox. You can view all sessional kindergarten locations and register on our website.

For 3-year-old and 4-year-old children enrolled in our Long Day Care program, we run a kindergarten program during their time with us. This ensures that their early education is integrated seamlessly into their day, fostering a holistic approach to their development.

Our Maternal and Child Health service is a free and confidential resource that provides child health and developmental checks, as well as information, advice, and support to families with young children from birth to 6 years.

We also operate a range of playgroups for children aged from birth to preschool age, providing a fun and interactive environment for children to learn and socialize.

For information regarding fees and charges, you can download our schedule from our website.

Accessibility is important to us, and both our Children and Family Centres in Bayswater and Wantirna South are designed to be accessible to people of all abilities.

Please note that all children enrolling in our early childhood education and care services must be up to date with their immunizations or have an approved exemption. This is in compliance with the Victorian Government's 'No Jab No Play' legislation, which requires all children to be fully immunized before enrolling in any childcare and/or kindergarten in Victoria.

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional custodians of the City of Knox, the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Knox Children & Family Centre in Bayswater, where we strive to provide comprehensive and exceptional services for children and their families.
