We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.
Our Learning Environments
Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:
- Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
- Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.
- Kindergarten (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.
Weāre proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.

- Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
- Personalised learning plans for each child.

Great management team with excellent communication. Staff always friendly, my son is super happy here.

I would not recommend enrolling infants at this centre. The nursery care was subpar and lacked genuine care. The centre was understaffed, making it difficult to provide adequate attention to the children. When I dropped off my child, they put her to sleep within 30 minutes, despite my specific instructions to take her outside to play and help her feel comfortable. Communication was also poor; I only received two or three generic updates per day with no details about activities. Overall, I was very disappointed with the service.

Our family has been a part of the wonderful Community kids experience for 2 years now with my son attending from 8 months old. Dedicated staff and management with focus on child development and happiness, always providing a safe and nourishing environment for my son! Excellent communication with daily photos and feedback so I never feel left out of my sons daily experiences. Great cook with healthy variety of home made meals and snacks. I am thankful everyday for the care my sons receives š

Our 2 girls have happily been to CK Heathmont from 6months old, moving through each of the rooms as they've grown. It's been a very positive experience for us. Currently the Kinder room has been amazing, focused on teaching writing, numbers, learning mandarin and a grade 5 school buddy program has been very positively received.
