About Kids On Collins
Located conveniently in Melbourne’s CBD, Kids on Collins offers a newly refurbished environment that is warm, welcoming, and feels like an extension of your family home.
In 2025, we were proudly awarded the Most Outstanding Early Years Service in Central Melbourne at the local business awards!
As a not-for-profit service, Kids on Collins places a strong emphasis on the wellbeing of both children and families. Our long-standing educators are consistently rostered, allowing them to build deep, trusting relationships with the children and their families. These meaningful connections form the foundation of our strength- and interest-based educational program.
Our menu is assessed by Nutrition Australia and provides children with up to 80% of their daily nutritional needs — including a nutritious High Tea served at 5:30 pm. This thoughtful offering saves families the stress of preparing dinner after a long day.
Our beautifully refurbished Centre features “Gardens in the Sky” — a unique rooftop outdoor space where children can run, ride, jump, climb, and play throughout the day.
Come visit us to see why Kids on Collins remains one of the first and most trusted early education environments in Melbourne’s CBD. Our strong reputation for outstanding care and education continues to shine above the rest.
