Welcome to Ashwood Childrens Centre |
Ashwood Children's Centre is a not for profit community based kindergarten and long day child-care centre.
We provide quality care and education for our children and consider ourselves to be one of the highest standard child-care centres in our region for the following reasons:
|
|
Staff to Children Ratios:
We have staff to children ratios well above minimum standards throughout the centre. For example we have three staff to ten children under age 2, and 1 staff member to 10 children in the kindergarten room.
Quality Kindergarten Program
We boast an excellent transition to school for our children through our quality kindergarten program which is accessed through Monash Council Central Enrolment Program. We have a qualified kindergarten teacher with sessional kindergarten that runs from 9:30 to 3:15 Mon/Tues or Wed/Thurs as well as the option of long day care kindergarten five days a week.
Family Involvement
Our families are extremely involved in our centre as we are run by a volunteer committee of parents.
Monash City Council Facilities
The Monash Council own our land and buildings and provide regular maintenance and support to our centre.
Our food has won Awards
We are a member of the Start Right Eat Right Program which ensures we provide excellent quality well-balanced in-house meals. We won the Golden Plate Award for our division which is an overall award for all categories in this highly coveted competition.
But don’t take our word for it. We achieved a High Distinction in every category for our Accredition in October 2007. Please click here to view the accreditation certificate.

Ashwood Children's Centre was recently awarded the "Australian Family Fisher Price Victorian/Tasmanian Children's Service of 2009", based on nominations made by our families. This is a brilliant achievement for our "not for profit" community based centre where our strong commitment to provide high quality care and education for all children and families is paramount in all forward planning.
To be perceived as a "centre of choice" in not only our local community, but also our State, is recognition beyond our wildest dreams for the staff and management. The centre will be striving to maintain the highest level in the strict criteria that we were judged against as part of our continuing improvement plan.
Our sincere thanks go to all families for their thoughtfulness and the time and effort taken to complete a nomination, it means so much to everyone.
