Queensberry Children’s Centre, housed in the historic former Queensberry Street Primary School, offers a nurturing and educational environment for children aged three months to five years. With a capacity for 96 children, the Centre provides full-day early education programs across six playrooms grouped by age. Priority is given to children attending funded programs, and the Centre is a registered service provider with the Australian Government, offering fee reductions through the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and a student rebate scheme for eligible families.
Committed to providing high-quality care and education, Queensberry Children’s Centre follows a comprehensive approach to early learning. Integrated kindergarten and long day care programs are available, with a focus on individualized attention and developmentally appropriate activities. Families can benefit from the Centre’s student rebate scheme, designed to support low-income local and international student families with their childcare costs based on their CCS percentage and fees paid.
Applications for enrolment at Queensberry Children’s Centre are now open for 2024, with tours available for interested families to meet the Centre Director and educators. The Centre’s philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment, both indoors and outdoors. Families can expect a range of services and support, including access to the University of Melbourne’s student support network, health services, and career development opportunities, enhancing the overall experience for children and their families.
