Wandong CHILDCARE & KINDERGARTEN

Where children play, grow and thrive. 

ENROL NOW

At our welcoming Ilmo Wandong, we are dedicated to creating a truly special place where your child’s happiness and holistic development are at the heart of everything we do. We believe children thrive when joyfully exploring, so our curriculum, guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, nurtures them as whole individuals through enriching play-based learning and caring guidance. 

Our passionate educators create stimulating yet comforting environments where children feel confident to explore, build friendships, and gently challenge themselves, thoughtfully planning experiences that extend their learning in meaningful ways. We invite you to learn more about our vibrant community by connecting with us to book a tour and see our wonderful school in action.

Our Philosophy

Learning through play & discovery.

We believe that children are naturally curious, capable, and full of potential. We champion learning through play, exploration, positive relationships, and meaningful interactions. We know that when children are having fun and feel secure, amazing learning happens.

Respect

We respect every child as a unique individual, celebrating their family background, abilities, and ideas. We listen deeply and encourage their voice.

Curiosity

We foster a love of learning by encouraging questions, wonder, and exploration in a safe, stimulating, and fun environment.

Connection

We believe in building strong, positive connections – between children, with our educators, among our families, and within our local Melbourne community.

Well-being

The happiness, safety, and emotional well-being of your child is at the very heart of everything we do, every single day.
