Hothlyn Drive Children's Centre 144 & 146 Hothlyn Drive, Craigieburn, Victoria 3064

Welcome to Hothlyn Drive Children's Centre, a premier establishment located in Craigieburn, Australia. Our centre, situated at 144 & 146 Hothlyn Drive, has been serving the community since 2000 and is privately owned.

At Hothlyn Drive Children's Centre, we pride ourselves on valuing and respecting diversity. We believe in creating inclusive environments that celebrate and encompass all cultures. We actively invite parents to share their culture, values, and beliefs with us, encouraging them to provide different experiences and activities that reflect their heritage.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, our programme focuses on enabling children to learn through exploration, inquiry, and discovery of the outside world. We believe that the environment serves as the "third teacher," and we provide a nurturing and stimulating space for children to thrive.

Our centre strives to provide a supportive, comfortable, and challenging environment that complements each child's family environment. We embrace the concepts of 'belonging, being, and becoming' and actively incorporate the Early Years Learning Framework into our programs, goals, and daily activities.

We understand the importance of familiarization and transition for both children and parents. That is why we encourage you to visit with your child for approximately an hour on several occasions before their enrolment begins. This allows you and your child to become familiar with our centre, its routines, and our policies. During these visits, we will also gather information about your child, your family, and their interests, ensuring we can best meet their individual needs.

During this time, we will share relevant information such as the settling process, what to bring for your child, our healthy food policy, sickness policy, and any queries you may still have. Our aim is to provide a seamless and comfortable transition for your child into our centre.

At Hothlyn Drive Children's Centre, we are committed to creating a nurturing and enriching environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to learn. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our centre and embarking on a journey of growth and discovery together.
