Ballan Childcare Centre

Ballan District Health & Care > Ballan Childcare Centre

We provide high quality and loving care in an environment that promotes learning

The Ballan Childcare Centre offers your child a warm and loving, educationally rich, close to home environment, located at 88a Simpson Street, Ballan.

The Centre’s educational curriculum is Reggio Emilia inspired. This means that we view each child as a capable, active and confident learner and believe our role as educators is to work with your child’s natural curiosity and desire for self-expression as they explore the world.

Our meals are cooked in the Ballan District Health & Care kitchen and have a focus on locally sourced ingredients. Our menu is overseen by a dietician, ensuring our children have access to over 50% of their daily nutritional requirements.

Learning groups

  • Babies Room (4 months to 2 years)
  • Toddlers Room (2 to 3 years)
  • Pre-Kinder Room (3 to 4 years)
  • Kinder Room (4 to 5 years)

About our educators

  • Highly experienced with nationally recognised qualifications
  • Regular National Police & Working with Children checks
  • Trained in First Aid, Anaphylaxis & Emergency Asthma Management, Child Protection and Hand Hygiene.

Small Green Steps

We are committed to playing our small part in protecting the planet and caring for the environment for the sake of future generations. We are also determined to take an active role in caring for our environment and contribute to a sustainable future.

To meet both these objectives and to help us on our sustainability journey, we have enrolled in Small Green Steps – a 40 step online environmental program that has been specifically developed for childcare services.

We also seek your support and ask you to join us on our sustainability journey by embracing the waste management principles, energy efficiency practices and other sustainability initiatives that we introduce along the way, to ensure that your children have a consistent experience at home.
