Thinking Kids Children's Centre

Thinking Kids Children's Centre opened in partnership with CSL in Parkville in 2011. Our state-of-the-art facility provides 116 places for long day care for children from birth to five years of age as well as a funded four year old kindergarten program. We are centrally located near the Melbourne zoo with access to trains, trams and buses and close to the CBD. Our natural setting and the inviting smells from our home kitchen give our centre a homely and inviting feel.

At Thinking Kids Children’s Centre, we understand just how important the first five years are in a young child’s life. We aim to nurture young minds with a variety of play-based experiences. Our professionally trained and passionate educators have created a caring, safe and secure atmosphere in which all children have the opportunity to thrive and to reach their full potential.

We welcome all families and community groups into our inviting and engaging educational environment. We believe that this setting facilitates the children's formation of positive relationships with themselves, others, the environment and the diverse world around them. We encourage the children to share their ideas about their own learning and we adapt our programs to meet the individual needs of each child.
