About Flinders University Child Care Centre
Welcome to Flinders University Child Care Centre, a community-based, long day care centre located on the beautiful grounds of Flinders University in South Australia's City of Mitcham, Bedford Park. As an establishment and point of interest, we take pride in our natural environments, play-based programs, and dedicated educators.
At Flinders, our educators are not only qualified and enthusiastic but also contemporary and committed. We strongly encourage you to take a moment to read our philosophy, as it serves as the foundation for every decision we make. We believe in the value of childhood and understand that our role is not just to prepare your child for school but to prepare them for life.
One unique feature of our centre is our emphasis on natural environments and outdoor play. Each of our houses runs indoor-outdoor programs, allowing children to access the gardens year-round. In winter, we provide rain suits, and in summer, we offer shaded spaces. We believe that outdoor play in natural spaces fosters a strong connection with place and nature.
Our environments are designed to create a sense of belonging, where everyone feels safe, heard, and able to share their ideas, understandings, and learning. We believe that play is the work of childhood, and when children learn through play, it becomes more meaningful, engaging, and intrinsically motivated. Our play-based programs are designed to reflect each child's individual interests, allowing them to be creative, imaginative, resourceful, resilient, and persistent learners.
We also acknowledge the traditional country of the Kaurna people, on which Flinders University Child Care Centre is located. For thousands of years, the Kaurna people have educated and nurtured children on this land, and we hope to learn from their wealth of experience. We pay respect to the Elders, both past and present, and commit to reflecting on reconciliation and equity.
We invite you to explore our website further to learn more about our centre, our programs, and how we can support your child's development and growth. Feel free to contact us with any questions or to arrange a visit. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Flinders University Child Care Centre.

Reviews of Flinders University Child Care Centre
"They kept my child after I left him with them for a month, they then continued to call police on ME after saying that “I’m supposed to pick him up after a day”. I am currently awaiting my sentencing."
"Best childcare Center. Highly rated everywhere you look"
"Amazingly attentive carers, a lovely environment and supportive curriculum. We highly recommend Flinders childcare to anyone with a bright child."
"I can't speak highly enough of Flinders Uni child care centre. My 2-year-old and 4-year-old settled in so quickly, and the looping system (where the educators transition with the children as they move into the next 'house') has ensured they've continued to feel secure and confident. The outdoor environments are stunning, and I love that my kids get the opportunity to play outside year-round. For me it's about what you don't see when you're there - you don't see excessive toys or walls full of brightly coloured posters that could over-stimulate. Instead you see plenty of inviting, natural spaces, a small number of carefully selected resources/toys based on the children's current interests and developmental needs, and little hives of activity where child-led discoveries are being made through play-based learning. The educators truly care about every child, with many being fully qualified teachers. They've taught me so much about early childhood education and my children! My kids love participating in activities like weekly bread-making, yoga, gardening, composting, recycling and yes, helping to setup and cleanup at meals and other times! Thanks to Flinders my 2-year-old is a pro at cleaning up spills ;-) It's hard to explain in words how special and unique this Centre is. It has a calmness and sanctuary-like feel I've never experienced at other Centres (my 4-year-old initially attended two others before getting a place here). It was absolutely worth the waiting list wait. A top quality Centre that has true heart and soul."
"We ever been here in 2013-2015, but still I couldn't forget this place. Once we are leaving for good, it's never enough to say thank you to all teachers that helping my son to growth. I still remember how they teach my son with care and love. I wish I have an opportunity to be able to contact the teachers. Please let me know if it is possible. warm regards from Indonesia."
