About Kids On Collins

Located conveniently in Melbourne’s CBD, Kids on Collins offers a newly refurbished environment that is warm, welcoming, and feels like an extension of your family home.

In 2025, we were proudly awarded the Most Outstanding Early Years Service in Central Melbourne at the local business awards!

As a not-for-profit service, Kids on Collins places a strong emphasis on the wellbeing of both children and families. Our long-standing educators are consistently rostered, allowing them to build deep, trusting relationships with the children and their families. These meaningful connections form the foundation of our strength- and interest-based educational program.

Our menu is assessed by Nutrition Australia and provides children with up to 80% of their daily nutritional needs — including a nutritious High Tea served at 5:30 pm. This thoughtful offering saves families the stress of preparing dinner after a long day.

Our beautifully refurbished Centre features “Gardens in the Sky” — a unique rooftop outdoor space where children can run, ride, jump, climb, and play throughout the day.

Come visit us to see why Kids on Collins remains one of the first and most trusted early education environments in Melbourne’s CBD. Our strong reputation for outstanding care and education continues to shine above the rest.

Judy Yang3 months ago

Kids on Colllins is the best. Jenn, the Centre Director runs the tight ship and safety first. The staff at KoC really cares about our daughter and us as a family since she went there at her 6 months old, especially we don't have any extended family support here. As the first time parents, they have been supporting us through the period. We went to another centre for a couple of days for a higher daily rate for a period of the time in Williamstown, they prove that Kids on Collins is the best as the team really care about children and parents. I am a high standard and can be demanding at times - but, this place ticks all the boxes for 1.5 years! Highly recommended.
