About Headstart Early Learning Centre Knoxfield
We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Knoxfield, Wantirna South, Ferntree Gully, Boronia, Scoresby and Bayswater in Melbourne.
Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Knox Park Primary School, supporting a smooth transition to school.
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.
We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.
Innovative Early Learning Programs
Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:
- Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
- Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
- Personalised learning plans for each child.
- Local school connections.
We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

We absolutely love Headstart Knox! Our boy started here about 3 months ago and he is having the best time! The staff are so friendly, happy and warm. And the pictures and updates throughout the day are soooo cute! Our son's transition to child care has been so much smoother than we expected, and we attribute that wholly to the wonderful care and compassion shown by the staff here. We feel so lucky to have found this centre, and we can't thank everyone there enough for all that they do every day!

My husband and I continue to drive our daughter to the knoxfield centre, even though we’ve moved to Croydon. For us, the feeling of dropping off our child somewhere she feels safe, welcomed, valued and runs in the door to be with her educators, is extremely reassuring. The kinder program is exceptional & has now prepared her for what is to come in primary school. We couldn’t be more grateful for her intellectual and emotional development over the last few years. Hands down the best centre in the east!

My daughters & I have been a part of this beautiful community of educators since 2014. This year is our last year & we are going to miss this amazing, dedicated, hard working team. The meals coming from the kitchen are nutritional & smell amazing. With always a smile & happy greetings from the chef of the day. The room leaders & educators are caring, kind & very respectful of our little future leaders. The centre management is tops & have been helpful, accommodating & available for us to connect with for assistance. Respect to the manager Ms Bardien who is very professional and makes sure all are comfortable, well informed and all runs smoothly. My children speak very fondly of the educators. They are the kind of teachers who taught you & you didn't even realise you were being taught. They have been part of our lives for so long & supportive to our family & needs. Thank you Headstart Knoxfield we have truly been blessed for your top services & we are forever grateful
