We understand that families want care that focuses on early childhood learning and school readiness. At Village Early Education Springvale South, our approach supports children’s development through meaningful, play-based learning rather than fixed or scheduled programs.
Our learning experiences are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and the National Quality Framework. This ensures children are supported across all areas of development while still having the freedom to explore, discover and learn in ways that feel natural and engaging.

Educators are part of and are connected to the local community.
Play-Based Learning
Children learn best through play. Educators create intentional learning experiences that emerge from children’s interests, encouraging curiosity and enhancing problem-solving skills while allowing learning to unfold at each child’s pace. Learning spaces include quiet corners with homely seating for children who enjoy reading, as well as kitchen corners designed for imaginative play.
Language, Literacy and Early Thinking
Everyday moments such as conversations, stories, songs and shared experiences help children develop early language, literacy and thinking skills. Small world experiences are set up to reflect children’s current interests, including dinosaurs, farm animals, sea animals and doll play. These experiences support storytelling and communication as children ask questions and share their thoughts with others.
Social and Emotional Development
Building relationships, learning to work alongside others and developing emotional awareness are part of daily life at the centre. Through shared play, role play and group experiences, children learn to take turns, express emotions and build empathy. Educators support children to develop resilience and a genuine sense of belonging by creating environments where children feel heard and included.
Physical and Creative Exploration
Children are encouraged to create and express themselves through a range of indoor and outdoor experiences. Spacious outdoor yards feature unique play equipment, including a train climbing frame with a slide, a fort with a telescope and steering wheel that inspires pirate ship adventures, a safari truck for imaginative travel and a boat with a water pump for water play and fishing games, and so much more.
Incursions and Excursions
From time to time, Springvale South may offer incursions or excursions that enrich children’s learning. Incursions include dancing classes, while excursions may look like visits to local parks and shopping centres. These opportunities vary throughout the year and are planned based on children’s interests, community connections and practical considerations.
Childcare Subsidy & Free Kinder
Village Early Education Springvale South supports families by offering both the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and the Victorian Government’s Free Kindergarten program.
The CCS helps reduce the cost of childcare for eligible families. The subsidy is paid directly to childcare providers and lowers the daily fees parents pay for approved care. The amount families receive depends on factors such as household income, the number of hours parents spend working, studying or volunteering and the hours of care used.
Families attending our childcare centre can also benefit from the Victorian Government’s Free Kindergarten initiative. This program provides funded kindergarten for both three-year-old and four-year-old children, helping prepare them for school through structured play-based learning. These programs form an important part of our preschool and kindergarten, giving children opportunities to build confidence, social skills and early learning foundations before starting school.
