Welcome to Village Early Education Blackburn
Step inside our newly opened childcare centre in Blackburn and you will find a mix of vibrant learning spaces and quiet corners where children can feel comfortable and at ease. Every room has its own feel, shaped around how children play, interact and learn throughout the day. Explore the centre below to see these spaces in action.
What We Offer
Stimulating outdoor environments
Our outdoor spaces give children room to move, explore and play freely. Designed to support both active play and quiet moments, these environments help children build confidence, develop physical skills and connect with others in a natural setting.
Diverse indoor play areas
Inside, children can move between a variety of play areas that support creativity, problem-solving and social interaction. Each space is set up to reflect how children learn best through hands-on experiences, whether that is imaginative play, group activities or quiet focus time.
Entertaining incursions
Children at our Blackburn childcare centre take part in a range of engaging incursions, including sports programs, community-based activities and playgroup sessions. These experiences bring something different into the day, helping children stay active and connect with the world around them.
Purpose-built learning rooms
Our nine learning rooms are arranged to support different age groups and stages of development. Each room provides a consistent and comfortable space where children can feel secure and engage in activities suited to their learning journey.
Qualified & passionate staff
Our educators are experienced, caring and committed to early childhood education. Supported by a strong leadership team, they work closely together to create a positive environment where every child feels supported and encouraged to grow.
Government-approved learning program
Our programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, supporting children’s learning through play, exploration and meaningful interactions. This approach helps build strong foundations for future learning while recognising each child’s individual pace and interests.
Nutritious meals
Children enjoy fresh, balanced meals prepared daily to support their growth and wellbeing. Our seasonal menu is designed to cater to a range of dietary needs while encouraging healthy eating habits from an early age.
Funded 3 & 4 Year Old Kinder
We offer funded kindergarten programs for three- and four-year-old children as part of our long day care in Blackburn. This gives families access to a structured learning program within extended hours, supporting a smooth transition to school.
Communication with parents
We keep families connected through regular updates, photos and learning insights shared via the OWNA app. This gives you a clear view of your child’s day and makes it easy to stay involved in their learning and development.

Get Support for Your Childcare
Understanding the cost of care is an important part of choosing the right childcare centre in Blackburn. Many families are eligible for government support that can help reduce out-of-pocket costs.
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government payment that helps lower your childcare fees based on:
- Your family’s income
- The hourly rate cap based on the type of approved child care you use and your child’s age
- Your family circumstances and the recognised participation you and your partner have
- The number of children in your care
It applies to long day care and can make a meaningful difference week to week. Learn more about eligibility and how to apply for Child Care Subsidy.
For children aged three and four, families may also benefit from the Victorian Government’s Free Kinder program. At participating services, this provides a fee offset for your child’s funded Blackburn kindergarten hours, helping reduce overall costs while still accessing a structured early learning program.

What does a typical day look like at Blackburn?
Each day at our Blackburn childcare centre has a steady flow, but there is always room to adjust based on how children are feeling and what they are interested in.
Mornings begin with a calm drop-off and free play, giving children time to ease into the day and connect with educators and friends. As the day progresses, children take part in a mix of planned learning experiences, group activities and outdoor play, all guided by their interests and stage of development.
Mealtimes are shared, building routine and social connection. After lunch, younger children rest while older children move into quieter activities. The afternoon opens back up to play, exploration and time outdoors before a gentle wind-down as families arrive for pick-up.
