Federation Children's Centre, Mt Helen
About the Business
Welcome to Federation Children's Centre, Mt Helen, located in the beautiful suburb of Mount Helen, Australia. Our centre is a renowned establishment and a point of interest in the area, offering a nurturing and supportive environment for children to play, learn, and grow.
At Federation Children's Centre, we prioritize providing quality childcare and kindergarten programs for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. With additional centres available in Ballarat CBD and Churchill, we cater to the needs of Federation staff, students, and the local community.
We are delighted to announce that in 2022, Federation Children's Centres will be offering a Victorian Government funded 3-year-old kindergarten program. This program has shown to have positive effects on a child's development, and we are excited to offer this opportunity to our children. We believe that two years of early learning can greatly benefit early childhood education and learning.
We understand the importance of early childhood education and growth, and our dedicated team of passionate educators is committed to providing valuable experiences and opportunities for every child on their learning journey. Our focus is on play-based learning, planned experiences, regular outings, and spontaneous adventures, all aimed at bringing out the best in each child. Activities are tailored to each child's developmental stage and cover various areas such as language and literature, music and movement, art and craft, dramatic play, science and maths, sensory motor activities, and physical development.
We believe that family involvement is crucial in a child's development, and our educators partner with families to encourage a lifelong love of learning. Through family involvement, children develop a sense of continuity and community between home and the centre. We regularly host family events, including art exhibitions, Winter Solstice Lantern Walks, picnics, special friend breakfasts, and more, to foster a sense of community and connection.
To keep families updated and involved, we utilize the EarlyWorks application, which allows you to follow your child's educational journey, extend learning opportunities, and receive important updates and reminders from the centre. The EarlyWorks app is available for download on the App Store (iPhone) and Play Store (Android).
Our centres are thoughtfully designed with your child's play and learning in mind. We have spacious outdoor play areas that encourage exploration of our natural settings and environment, as well as imaginative play, climbing, swinging, building, and more. Indoors, we provide a range of experiences that promote meaningful play and guide children to grow and thrive.
Located within the new state-of-the-art Health and Sports Precinct on the Mount Helen campus, our centre offers additional benefits for families. You can achieve your health and fitness goals with access to our community gymnasium, heated indoor 25-meter pool, indoor sports stadiums, active studio, tennis courts, and outdoor multipurpose oval.
We are proud to be a part of Federation University Australia, and we strive to create an exceptional learning environment for your child. For more information, please contact us or visit our website.
