early learning began in 2003, and I joined the team at Community Kids Shepparton in 2009 when the centre opened. I love being part of children&#8217;s learning journeys, giving them tools they can carry forward. Each child is different and has a unique way of learning and growing. When given the opportunity, they will thrive. My approach is to let the child take the lead and learn through real-world experiences, following their unique interests and strengths. <\/p> <p>Attending a dedicated early learning environment gives children the best start in life. They develop relationships, learn negotiation skills, and build resilience. Many of our team members have been at the centre for over 10 years. We are a multicultural team, with educators speaking various languages that we incorporate into our program to communicate with families and children. <\/p> <p>Building connections with families starts from the first enquiry. As the Centre Manager, I enjoy spending time with families, having conversations with them, and learning about each child. We invite families to participate in the centre&#8217;s events and programs. We always use families\u2019 feedback to improve our practices and develop the most effective communication methods. <\/p> <p>I look forward to welcoming your family to our Shepparton early education centre. <\/p>                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"g8-centre-managers__slide__read-more\"><span>Read <span\n                                                                    class=\"more\">more<\/span><span class=\"less\">less<\/span><\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"g8-slider-pagination-container\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-centre-managers__pagination g8-slider-pagination\"><\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                            \n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-star-two\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-three-lines\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-book\"><\/i>\n                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-music\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-icon-card_8_66a97a8a559ea\" class=\"g8-icon-card  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-icon-card__container g8-block-container\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-icon-card__header g8-block-header\">\n                                                            <h2 class=\"g8-icon-card__title\">Our innovative early learning programs<\/h2>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"g8-icon-card__description g8-block-content\"><p>At our early learning centre in Shepparton, our play-based curriculum is guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), supporting children to learn through play, exploration and discovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                                                            <div class=\"g8-icon-card__cards swiper\">\n                                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                                                            <div\n                                            class=\"g8-icon-card__card swiper-slide lg-one-fourth\">\n                                            <div class=\"g8-icon-card__card__icon-container\">\n                                                <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-leaf\"><\/i>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                            <h4 class=\"g8-icon-card__card__title\">Sustainability<\/h4>\n                                            <p class=\"g8-icon-card__card__description\">Children help maintain our vegetable garden, supported by rainwater tanks, compost, and a worm bed.

My intention is to contribute to service improvement and to offer some genuine insight that may also be helpful for first-time parents considering the centre.\n\nOverall, my experience over the past three years has been largely positive. The management team has been understanding of the realities of both parents working and has consistently offered flexible options to support families. In addition, some of the newer staff members appear well trained and professional in their practice.\n\nOne area I believe is worth reflecting on relates to staffing arrangements. Several staff members are related (for example, mothers and daughters). On one occasion, when I raised a concern with a member of the management team,I later learned that the staff member involved was their mother. While I acknowledge that employing relatives can foster a close-knit and supportive workplace, it can also make it difficult for parents to feel confident that constructive feedback will be received objectively. This dynamic may unintentionally discourage open communication.\n\nI offer this feedback respectfully and in good faith, with the hope that it supports ongoing reflection and transparency within the service. Ultimately, we are very grateful for the time our child has spent here, and we sincerely hope this centre would prosper and thrive even further.                                            <\/span>\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide swiper-slide\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__content-container\">\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__header\">\n                                        <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__meta\">\n                                            <h3 class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__author\">\n                                                Sara Robin                                            <\/h3>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__rating\">\n                                        \n            <div class=\"stars-container g8-google-reviews__stars-container\">\n                <div class=\"stars empty\">\n                    <div class=\"stars full\"><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><\/div>\n                    <i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__text\">\n                                                                                    <span class=\"short-text\">\n                                                I can&#039;t speak highly enough of Community Kids Shepparton\nit\u2019s not just a centre, it feels like a family!\n\nFrom day one, I could see how much genuine love, care, and heart the educators put into every child.

That\u2019s not luck. That\u2019s the result of a strong, values-led foundation, created by people who care deeply \u2014 like family would.\n\nI will always be grateful to Community Kids for the role they\u2019ve played in my daughters journey. You gave her  more than just education \u2014 you gave her love, community, and the confidence to thrive \ud83d\udc96\n\nBeing a small community I am incredibly grateful to have centre manager Shanel and Tracey continue to see my daughter thriving on her journey.\n\nThank you guys for everything!                                            <\/span>\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide swiper-slide\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__content-container\">\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__header\">\n                                        <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__meta\">\n                                            <h3 class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__author\">\n                                                Uarda Veis                                            <\/h3>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__rating\">\n                                        \n            <div class=\"stars-container g8-google-reviews__stars-container\">\n                <div class=\"stars empty\">\n                    <div class=\"stars full\"><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><\/div>\n                    <i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__text\">\n                                                                                    <span class=\"short-text\">\n                                                My daughter has been attending this centre since she was 8 months old and she loves going to daycare.

We would highly recommend the centre to anyone looking for day care for their children.                                            <\/span>\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide swiper-slide\">\n                                <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__content-container\">\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__header\">\n                                        <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__meta\">\n                                            <h3 class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__author\">\n                                                Jacinta Allen                                            <\/h3>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__rating\">\n                                        \n            <div class=\"stars-container g8-google-reviews__stars-container\">\n                <div class=\"stars empty\">\n                    <div class=\"stars full\"><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star icon-star-solid\"><\/i><\/div>\n                    <i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-star\"><\/i>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"g8-google-reviews__slide__text\">\n                                                                                    <span class=\"short-text\">\n                                                Community Kids Shepparton are a wonderful day care with friendly and caring staff who are always willing to help.\nMy daughter is always so happy to go to day care and loves all the educators.\nI really enjoy receiving my &quot;Daily Reflection&quot; emails&#8230;.                                                <a href=\"#\" class=\"see-more-link\"><strong>See more<\/strong><\/a>\n                                            <\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"full-text\">\n                                                Community Kids Shepparton are a wonderful day care with friendly and caring staff who are always willing to help.\nMy daughter is always so happy to go to day care and loves all the educators.\nI really enjoy receiving my &quot;Daily Reflection&quot; emails which tell me what my daughter has been doing during the day and also meals and snacks she has eaten.\nI feel the centre is always trying to improve and are open to suggestions from parents.\nHighly recommend Community Kids!

If the centre is the right fit and a place is available, you\u2019ll receive an enrolment offer for your child. If a place is not currently available in your child\u2019s age group, we can add your child to the waitlist and keep you updated.<\/p>\n<p>To finalise your enrolment, you\u2019ll complete an online enrolment form through a secure link sent by our Family Support Team. You\u2019ll also need to provide key details and documents, including your child\u2019s birth certificate, Medicare details, immunisation history statement and, if eligible, your Child Care Subsidy details.<\/p>\n<p>Before your child\u2019s first day, you may be invited to attend a Stay and Play session. This gives your child time to explore the centre, meet their educators, and start feeling comfortable in their new environment.

These can be taken for any reason, including public holidays and when children are sick, without requiring families to provide documentation.\"}}]}<\/script>    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"g8-image-content_24_66a9b4b011657\" class=\"g8-image-content g8-block-container  \">\n        <div class=\"g8-container\">\n            <div class=\"g8-row\">\n                <div class=\"g8-col\">\n                    <div class=\"g8-image-content__container full no-image\">\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--image\">\n                                                                                                                    <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-star-heart pattern-one\"><\/i>\n                                                                                        <i class=\"g8-icon g8-icon-g8-pattern-sun-pen pattern-two\"><\/i>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__inner-container--content\">\n                                                                                        <h2 class=\"g8-image-content__title g8-block-subtitle\">Contact us<\/h2>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__content g8-block-wysiwyg\"><p style=\"text-align: center\">We look forward to welcoming your family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n                                                                                                                        <div class=\"g8-image-content__buttons-group\">\n                                                                                                            <a href=\"\/book-a-tour?centre=community-kids-shepparton-early-education-centre\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Book a tour\"><span>Book a tour<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                                                                <a href=\"\/enquire-now?centre=community-kids-shepparton-early-education-centre\" class=\"g8-image-content__button\" target=\"\" title=\"Enquire now\"><span>Enquire now<\/span><\/a>\n                                                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1610,"parent":99,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-496","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Community Kids Shepparton | Childcare &amp; Kindergarten Centre<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get the best start to early learning with our child care and kindergarten programs at Community Kids Shepparton.
