Victorian Government-approved Kindergarten program
At our Springvale early learning centre, we proudly offer a Victorian Government-funded Kindergarten program led by qualified Bachelor-trained Early Childhood Teachers. This approved program nurtures your child’s development, preparing them for school and lifelong learning. Children aged 3 and 4 may be eligible for up to 15 hours of free kindergarten each week, for 40 weeks of the year. Speak to us about how this can help lower your family’s childcare expenses.
As part of our commitment to preparing children for the transition to school, we organise visits to the local school and invite teachers from local primary schools to spend time with the children in the kindergarten environment. This provides children with the opportunity to become familiar with the school setting and build relationships with their future teachers. By offering these experiences, we help children feel confident and supported as they approach this important milestone.
Key benefits of our kindergarten offering include:
- Long daycare hours to support working families
- Operates year-round (excluding public holidays)
- Programs created and delivered by qualified early education professionals
- Access to our dedicated music and movement program to support self-regulation
We’re all about healthy, nutritious eating
Thanks to the in-house chef at our Springvale 2 child care centre, your child can enjoy nutritious, balanced meals made fresh daily. We offer a rotating seasonal menu—providing breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack, all designed to promote healthy eating habits and a positive relationship with food. Meals feature a rich variety of meats, grains, vegetables, legumes and fruit to support nutrition and encourage children to explore new flavours and cuisines. We cater for all dietary needs, preferences and cultural requirements.
Inclusive support for every child
At Springvale 2 World of Learning, we tailor our programs using the approved frameworks to support each child’s individual learning journey. Our monthly planning cycle incorporates children’s interests, family input, and developmental goals to ensure all children are engaged, supported, and challenged through intentional, inclusive experiences. Each child has an individual learning plan, and families receive regular updates via Xplor.
For children with additional needs or those learning English as an additional language, we work closely with external agencies such as the Kindergarten Inclusion Support Program (KIS), Yooralla, and Monash Health through School Readiness Funding. These partnerships help us provide tailored strategies and resources to support communication, participation, and development across all areas of learning.

World of Learning uses Xplor Home as our family communication app. It is the best and easiest way to keep track of your child’s day.
After you enrol your child with the centre, you can utilise Xplor Home to book child care days, manage your account, receive the photographs that capture your child’s learning, learn about your child’s progress, as well as keep up-to-date with upcoming centre events and important information.
If your child shows signs of an infectious illness when they arrive at the centre or becomes sick during the day, you may be notified that you need to make alternative arrangements or pick up your child from the centre and keep them home until they are no longer infectious. While we understand that this can be inconvenient, World of Learning is committed to maintaining a healthy environment and reducing the risk of infection for all children.
Under the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), families are allowed 42 absence days per child, per financial year. These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.
