Highlights of our centre

Learning to last a lifetime

At Pakenham Springs Children’s Centre our educators provide an inspiring, playful and safe environment to stimulate your child’s learning. Harnessing the power of curiosity, we encourage participation and enthusiasm in all aspects of play – promoting positive attitudes toward lifelong education.

Expansive indoor and outdoor spaces combined with considered curriculum ranging from problem-solving to social and emotional skills, we set children up for all-round success.

Facilities and programs

Under a canopy of trees and with protective shade is the large outdoor play area with playgrounds and collaborative sitting areas promoting play and exploration. Inside, you’ll find cognitively stimulating spaces fostering learning and development.

We understand that every child learns differently and develop at their own pace, therefore we place strong emphasis on children understanding themselves as secure, significant and respected individuals.

Creatively stimulating spaces

Our thoughtfully designed spaces celebrate play, learning and individuality whilst also supporting motor skill development:
