About One Tree Altona Meadows Children's Service

Our service has a warm, family feel.

Our open door policy means that you are welcome to drop in at any time to spend time with your children. You can take as much time as you need to settle your children in when you drop them off in the mornings.

At Altona Meadows we promote healthy eating and offer a range of food for lunch. Stir fries, vegetarian meals, homemade pasties, soups and hearty stews are offered to the children. Children with food allergies and provide cultural diets are catered for.

We foster the Reggio Emilia Philosophy at our service and believe the environment is the ‘third teacher’, encouraging exploration and imagination, reflecting the natural world. You will often see our resident chickens running around the yard with the children. All our educators are passionate about their roles and strive to provide the best possible care for your children.

Kia Brusaabout 1 year ago

We have been so happy with the Educators and the service at One Tree Altona Meadows! The variety of activities and education has been amazing, always engaging the kids with something new and relevant to the community that they are a part of. The educators are very genuine and have worked with us to bring out the best in our daughter, who is part of the 'COVID generation'. I love the focus on different cultures and indigenous education and awareness too, which is woven through the curriculum, not just a token occasional acknowledgement. Highly recommend this service to prospective parents and families!
