As one of the longest standing childcare providers in Bacchus Marsh, we know the first years of any child’s education are paramount.

Education should be inspiring, that’s why we provide our little learners with plenty of opportunities to grow and explore in a supportive and nurturing environment.

It’s time to think about where you’ll send your 3 and 4 year old to kindergarten next year; maybe you’re interested in finding out more about our centre.

We often get asked what people should dress their children in when sending them to us for the day.

🧢 Clothing needs to be practical, comfortable, allow free movement, be sunsmart and easily manageable (e.g. pants that can be pulled down easily - no belts or braces - to assist children with fostering toileting and rest time independence)
🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️ Clothes need to be suitable for climbing and energetic activities
👟 NO slip on shoes, thongs or crocs to prevent slips and injury.

❗️Please note: any wet or soiled clothes will be rinsed and placed in a plastic bag and tied to your child’s bag and sent home for laundering.

Studs and small sleepers with secure fastenings are safer ear-rings to wear for childcare.

One of the many things that sets us apart from other 4 year old kinder programs in Bacchus Marsh is that ours is a Bush Kinder program.

We offer regular community outings, incursions and excursions to make sure kids are ready for school.

Children are always encouraged to participate in experiences and opportunities that will assist with their transition into school, and offering programs like ours only assists this further.

We offer two FUNDED kinder programs:
🦉Kookaburras / Mon, Wed, Friday - 9:30am - 2:30pm.
🦡 Bilbies / Tue, Thu - 8:30am - 4pm.

Can you believe some of our educators were once students themselves!?

That’s what sets us apart from other childcare centres in Bacchus Marsh.

We provide continuity of care and a deep sense of community to our students that they can take with them through their entire school journey.

And that sense of connection is deeply tied to a child’s confidence, security and ability to learn and explore in a nurturing education environment.

If you’re looking to enrol your child in our centre, get in touch today.

We always welcome parents to participate in daily experiences at the Pentland Childcare and Kindergarten Centre.

Things like birthday celebrations, attending excursions as a parent helper, story reading, cooking group, playing an instrument or show and tell.

Children love having their parents/grandparents visit the centre, so we ask if you’re interested in coming in to visit that you make arrangements with your child’s Room Leader.

This procedure is in place to ensure we can avoid having too many adults in the room at once as it can sometimes be overwhelming for the kids.
