Childcare services in Narre Warren

The cost of child care in Cranbourne East, Cranbourne North, Narre Warren North, and surrounding areas depends on factors such as your child’s age, the centre you choose, and your Child Care Subsidy (CCS) eligibility. At Milestones, we aim to make high-quality early education accessible and affordable for local families. Our light-filled, age-appropriate childcare centre offers an extensive selection of educational and engaging books and toys for all our curious age levels. Hands-on experiences with water, dirt, rocks and logs allow children to exercise their imagination, foster creativity, develop their sense of self and understand belonging and responsibility to our community. Our Integrated Kindergarten programs for Year-Olds are carefully designed to develop the social and emotional confidence of each child, enabling them to take calculated risks and be led by curiosity.
I am passionate about building strong, respectful relationships with families, as I believe these connections are essential to the success of our centre. One of the highlights of my day is welcoming families during the morning drop-off; nothing  more rewarding than seeing the excitement on a child's face as they start their day with us. My name is Shahara Thaliph, and I am the Centre Manager at Milestones Early Learning Narre Warren North. With a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and more than a decade of experience in the childcare field, I bring extensive knowledge and expertise to our centre and community. Our child experienced separation anxiety, Jess was so loving and caring towards him and he now runs through the door daycare center to see her. He now loves attending kinder and often comes home singing new songs and talking about all the activities he has participated in throughout the day."

We adhere to our comprehensive Child Protection Policy, standing by our mandatory reporting responsibilities to protect children from physical, sexual, emotional and psychological abuse and neglect. Our Service is committed to safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. Our education philosophy draws from the Reggio Emilia and Montessori approach in developing our own program for readying your child for school. Heritage College Early Learning Centre offers a supportive pathway into the first year of Primary school at Officer or Narre Warren South campus locations. With a longstanding, multicultural team fluent in several languages, families can feel at ease knowing their culture and voice are understood and respected. We open your child’s mind to the outdoors, raising their awareness of the environment and the importance of their role in protecting it.
Our toddler room is set up with intentional play-based learning in mind. Within the curriculum framework, play enables your toddler to develop fundamental skills for life-long learning. It also creates the perfect environment to socialise and form friendships. Our activities enhance language skills and promote collaborative group play, laying a strong foundation for their future learning experiences. Our nursery room is purposely designed to make every baby feel safe exploring and discovering new things.

Our Family Support Team will add your child’s name to our waitlist if one of our childcare centres is currently full in your child’s age group. Available from 3 November 2025 to each new child enrolling before 3 April 2026 (or later at our discretion) for families choosing a minimum of 2 days of care per week.

This offer applies only to the gross fee before Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is applied. This offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other discounts or offers applied to the same days and is subject to the availability of places on your preferred days at the time enrolment is confirmed. We believe that fresh nutritious food is vital to the positive effect on your children’s learning experience.
Our kindergarten programs are tailored to meet your child’s individual learning needs across numeracy, literacy, emotional and social development, resilience, and self-regulation. All our kindergarten or preschool programs follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), a national learning framework for Australia. These programs are delivered by qualified and passionate Early Childhood Educators and Teachers. Our Curriculum accommodates each individual child’s learning, development, and well-being.

Hi, my name is Janette and I am the owner and Approved Provider of Kool Kidz Childcare Narre Warren. Together with my daughter Maria, we aim to provide the highest quality care for your child. We believe in teaching children what to do if they feel unsafe and encouraging them to express their view and thoughts on matters that directly affect them. As educators we listen to and empower children to act on any concerns, they or others may raise which is reflective in our policies and procedures in keeping children safe. We are dedicated to protecting children from abuse and neglect and promote a child safe environment, maintaining children’s wellbeing.

At Community Kids Narre Warren early learning centre, I am fortunate to work with a long-standing team of passionate, caring educators who are dedicated to providing a warm and supportive environment for every child. Building strong relationships with families is just as important, and I always ensure we are available to greet them in the morning and afternoon, keep communication open, and provide ongoing support. By working together, we can create a welcoming and nurturing space where children feel happy, confident, and ready to learn. I believe that building strong and secure relationships with children is at the heart of quality early learning. My approach is to support each child’s development at their own pace, ensuring they feel safe, nurtured, and encouraged to explore the world around them. Every child is unique, and providing them with an environment where they feel confident and valued is key to their success.
