Our play-based learning philosophy
KU strongly values the importance of play-based programs. All of our high quality programs are based on current research and are planned by our experienced and qualified early childhood staff.
Play-based programs provide a wide range of active and meaningful experiences that incorporate choice for children, while enabling them to experience many of the organisational elements that are important at school.
The centre operates on the site of The Alfred Hospital and provides a high quality service to meet the needs of The Alfred Hospital staff. Where vacancies exist, places are also available to the community.
The centre has been designed so there is a maximum of 10 children in each group/room with 2 rooms for the youngest children (0-2 year olds) which observe a 1:4 staff to child ratio. A state government funded preschool program is provided.

An amazing child care facility. My daughter has blossomed there. Our experience in the baby room (0-2) was excellent. The carers are very experienced and there seems to be low staff turnover. Great food too- our generally picky eater will have 2 servings of lunch there! So happy we prioritized experience and staff warmth over shiny new buildings!
Response from the ownerover 1 year agoHi Edlira, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter has had such a positive experience at Alfred Child Care Centre, and we look forward to continuing to support her growth and development.

As a single parent, with no family in Australia, it is incredibly important that I rate this place 5stars publicly. They took incredible care of my daughter, and of me. My daughter has grown confident and warm through the remarkable job of the teachers who were instrumental in raising her with me. No daily photo updates, if that’s what you are looking for. Personally I wasn’t. I wanted teachers who were focused on the environment, and my child. I always felt incredibly lucky to have had Hazel land a spot here.

My 2.5 year old son goes here. He’s been there since he’s 1 years old and they have really grown to know and nurture him. The food is fantastic, they facilities up to date and the carers bonds and really teaches the kids a lot of things including being able to defend themselves. For example, they taught al the kids to say “No, stop it, I don’t like it!” To anyone who does something that they don’t like. It’s a small place with 3 classrooms. 0-2, 2-3 and pre-school. Many of the carers have been around for awhile as well. The kids read, play, sing, make pop corn, help cook muffins, go to the nearby Fawkner park for a play, and each room has an outdoor area where the kids can play. Check them out if you live in the area.
