Bendigo South Childcare Centre | Journey Early Learning

Welcome to Bendigo South Childcare Centre | Journey Early Learning, located on High Street in Kangaroo Flat, Australia. Our establishment is a point of interest for families seeking a warm and welcoming environment for their little explorers. At Journey Early Learning, we understand the importance of a seamless transition, which is why many of our educators have continued on with us, sharing our values and dedication to early childhood development.

Journey Bendigo South is the perfect place for little adventurers with a natural sense of curiosity. Our rooms open out onto a vibrant playground, allowing for both indoor and outdoor play. This encourages our children to engage in active exploration and discover the wonders of the world around them. Additionally, our centrally located kitchen not only facilitates wholesome food preparation, but also fosters interaction between families and children as they come and go. It's a space where lasting connections are formed.

As a tight-knit centre, Bendigo South promotes frequent social activities that bring our families together. From fundraising events to celebrating special occasions, our families love creating amazing memories and building a strong sense of community.

At Journey Early Learning, we are committed to supporting our children's school transition. We provide a safe and secure environment where they can develop confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self for their journey ahead. Our Kindergarten classrooms are intentionally designed by our qualified teachers to align with the Journey Standards and the Early Years Learning Framework and Curriculum. Our Government Approved Funded 3 and 4-Year-Old Kindergarten Classrooms are run by ACCEQA approved Early Childhood Teachers and Qualified Educators. Children enrolled in our 4-Year-Old Kinder Program receive ongoing support from teachers through our School Readiness Program, ensuring they are prepared for the next step in their educational journey.

Here's what some of our families have to say about us:

“It’s a fantastic center for kids to learn and play, all the staff are fantastic and welcoming, the shared yard is a fantastic idea as it allows kids from different age groups to interact with each other, you're always greeted with a smile and feel welcome.”

“Briony and the team have been wonderful in our transition from another center. They make us feel like we are part of the Journey family.”

We believe that nature is the greatest teacher, which is why nature-based play is an integral part of our curriculum. It teaches our children vital life skills such as confidence, independence, exploration, and cooperation. Playing outside also promotes their health, wellbeing, and respect for the environment.
