Child Care Centre in Ringwood East, Melbourne
Kids Club Early Learning Centres are well recognised for their Education for Life Program and for having some of the most creative play spaces in Australia. We’re proud to finally bring our Six-Star Early Education experience to Melbourne.
We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality education and care to your child. We do this through a holistic approach to early education. Our play-based curriculum has been created to extend on the principles and practices of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), Australia’s national curriculum for early childhood education.
With amazing outdoor/indoor playscapes and purposed designed learning spaces fitted with custom age-related features, Kids Club Ringwood East is setting new standards for the area.
Everything is included in our fees from nappies, formula, 5 gourmet meals served daily by our in-house Chefs to our impressive program and extracurricular activities (yoga, music, sports lessons…).
It takes time to build the perfect early learning centre! Express your interest to be notified first.
Free Kindy
Kids Club Kindergarten Program is an approved program by the Victorian State Government as an educational platform for children intending to start school the following year (child must be 4 by the 30th of April). As an approved Kinder provider, parents can receive up to a $2,000 credit against preschool fees through this Victorian Government initiative.
Designed and run by our experienced early childhood teachers, they work on a transition-based program designed to prepare children for school through effective learning principles. With foundations in building positive relationships, identifying and working with emotions, creating personal identity and promoting wellbeing, our curriculum is based on the Kids Club core pillars, developed from the National Quality Framework as set by ACECQA.
Integrated into the long day care setting, the rooms are designed to resemble a kindergarten environment. During school terms, children spend the full day with the same educator, a few days a week, based on a 15 hour per week allocation. If care is required outside of these periods, your child remains in their allocated age room, so that they continue to receive the full benefits of Kids Club’s programs.

Meet Janene, Your Centre Director
I have worked in early education for around 30 years. I hold an Associate Diploma in Childcare and a Diploma of Business specifically related to leadership in the early childhood sector. I worked my way up from student to assistant to room leader and have worked in management of long day care for nearly 20 years.
I believe that children are the centre of their own learning and that we need to allow them the space to explore, wonder and create independently. I am inspired by the families, children and by educators at our centres. They teach me something every day and I like that we are on this learning journey together.
I believe the children’s ideas and interests are the basis of a curriculum. It simply would not exist without them and are what drives the evolution of experiences. Combined with intentional teaching and our observations, extension and documentation of their ideas and interests assist to continue to develop the curriculum.
When I’m at home I am usually kept busy by my twins and if I have time you will find me reading, baking and watching movies.
Ringwood East Centre Activities
At Kids Club we have certain room routines that educators follow. The routine will vary, depending on current events and activities. Having a routine in each of the rooms allows for smoother transitions into new activities, meals and rest time. The routine is available to families so you are aware of what your child is doing at certain times.
From 7:30am
The day starts with family grouping sessions where breakfast is served. Here is when you can say goodbye to your little one. After breakfast, your child has time to play and learn at their own pace.
From 8:30am
At this time of the morning, other children are still arriving, so the educators offer children different activities to engage in. The activities are purposefully selected to encourage our learning through play framework.
From 9:30am
We then begin to transition into morning tea. After washing their hands your child will sit down where they choose and be served morning tea from the menu. If your child has dietary requirements they will be served an alternate meal.
From 10:30am
Depending on the weather, your child will be offered to play indoors/outdoors for free playtime. This is where educators can make observations of what your child likes to do. During this time we also hold group activities with the children.
From 12:00pm
From 12 pm we begin to transition to lunchtime. Once your child’s hands are washed they will choose a seat where a hot lunch will be served to them. If your child has dietary requirements they will be served an alternate meal.
From 12:30pm
Sleep or rest time after lunch your child will have a rest in a peaceful tranquil room with educators patting if requested. If your child does not require sleep, they will take part in quiet activities such as reading.
From 2:00pm
After your child wakes up, afternoon tea will be served. If your child has dietary requirements they will be served an alternate meal. We encourage our toddlers and preschoolers to serve themselves their own afternoon tea.
From 2:30pm
Depending on the weather, your child will be offered to play indoors/outdoors for free playtime. This is where educators can make observations of what your child likes to do and prepare for future planned experiences based on interests.
From 3:30pm
Planned afternoon learning experiences. During this time we will engage your child in activities that are slightly more structured and educator-led. For example, yoga classes, painting lessons, group play and group learning moments.

All meals at Kids Club Childcare centres are freshly prepared on-site using high-quality ingredients and following Annabel Karmel’s recipes and a 4-week rotational menu. Meals are tasty, nutritious and freshly-prepared by our qualified chefs in order to meet the daily dietary requirements of all attending children.
Weekly menus are displayed outside the kitchen. We welcome your input for different recipes or cultural meals. As much as possible, we attempt to cater to individual likes and dislikes, whilst incorporating multicultural tastes and diets.

Morning Tea
Morning tea offers children a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, yoghurt, toasted melts and baked goods, as well as a selection of water or milk. In our older rooms, we encourage children to help themselves.

Featured Parent Testimonials
"Our 2 year old joined Kids Club Ringwood East when it just opened. We were so pleasantly surprised by how amazing the facility is. Very well equipped, clean and way above standard. The staff were very responsive, welcoming and caring. They provide positive and nurturing curriculums and interactive programs like weekly sports day and music day activities."
Kristina, Kids Club Ringwood East Parent
"Our son has just started here for the last 2 months from a shy boy transported to a socialise and happy boy since he had been attending Kid Club Ringwood East. Caretakers and their director are always responsive, responsible and professional yet still feel warm and their calmness among many children. The facilities are exceptionally high equipped, clean and new unlike the other few I have checked out nearby."
Leina, Kids Club Ringwood East Parent
"My son has been coming here since late 2019 and Miss Jade, Miss Cattie, Miss Keesh and Miss Taylor in particular, are so amazing with him. They always make sure safety precautions are taken, especially during these trying times and Harris always has a smile on his face at drop off and pick up. I can easily tell that's the product of great childcare."
Brooke, Kids Club Newtown Parent

Child Care Subsidy
The Australian Government provides families with financial assistance to help cover the costs of approved child care – the Child Care Subsidy.
Since 2 July 2018, Australia has a new child care package. Under the new package, the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) replaces the existing Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate. CCS is the main way the Government assists families with their child care fees.

Preparing for the First Week
The transition for children into child care is an important milestone for children and families. This transition can be challenging and emotional for both the parent and the child. Therefore, we offer you this information to help the transition process.
We invite families to come for orientation the week before they start: stay in the centre with your child, meet the educators and make yourself familiar with the routines prior to your child’s first day. This assists you and your children to feel more at ease and comfortable with the new environment.
