About City Kids Early Learning Centre
City Kids Early Learning Centre first opened our doors in April 2010. We started with the vision of providing exceptional quality care and education, and that vision continues to this day. This privately owned centre embodies the spirit of community and a sense of belonging, not only for our families but for the wonderful staff we employ. It is this vision and sense of community and belonging that has made City Kids a high standing early learning centre within the heart of Melbourne.
Throughout our centre you will find dedicated and passionate staff who provide a nurturing and secure environment that allows children to reach their full potential. In addition to this, our focus is on providing rich learning opportunities through play and teacher led experiences. Informed by the National and Victorian Frameworks (EYLF & VEYLF) we strive to achieve the fundamentals of the Framework, which are Being, Belonging and Becoming. We do this in partnership with our families, the most significant educators in a child’s life.

Words from Happy Families
We were lucky enough to find City Kids and have had our kids enrolled there for five years now, having just started our third child there recently. The management and staff seem to have a great understanding of each child’s needs and we are always greeted with a friendly hello and goodbye at drop off and pick up. Our first two kids have loved their experience, with each of them looking forward to each day and beaming with delight when we come to pick them up. We know they are getting great care and are learning a lot in a fun, friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. City Kids is a well-run service that we are more than happy to entrust with our children’s care.
