Community Kids Wodonga Early Education Centre

We’re part of your village at Community Kids Wodonga Child Care and Early Education Centre. Our early learning and long daycare centre is ideally located for families living or commuting through Wodonga and West Wodonga. We are open from 6:45 AM to 6:00 PM for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.

Spacious areas designed to inspire

From the moment you step into our Wodonga child care centre, you will experience a world where children are inspired to explore, learn and grow. Our spacious outdoor environments include climbing equipment, sandpit, and a vegetable garden to engage all the senses. Children are provided time and space for uninterrupted play as they explore the outdoor spaces to test their limits and develop strength, balance, and self-confidence.

Our indoor environments invite exploration with quality resources and learning experiences. Children marvel, create, and test out their ideas as they play with a range of materials in purposeful play spaces. Our team of experienced educators plan play-based learning experiences around children’s interests and learning goals. Literacy and numeracy concepts are embedded in play-based learning, as children engage as architects, storytellers, scientists, artists and designers.  You will also receive daily photos, meal and nap times, as well as updates of your child's learning and development through our parent app - Xplor.

Healthy meals freshly prepared in-house

You won’t need to worry about packing breakfast, lunch and snacks for your child. We provide healthy, freshly made meals created daily by our in-house cook, catering for all dietary requirements. Shared mealtimes between children and educators grow relationships, with opportunities to share stories and experiences, and model healthy eating practices. Allow us to treat you to a hot coffee and a snack during your morning drop-off. 

Community-based early learning

We offer engaging specialised programs including our sports program.  Throughout the year, educators and children venture out to on excursions to our local Wodonga community visiting nearby parks. We regularly welcome special community guests to the centre based on the children’s interests including the dentist. Neighbourhood connections support a sense of community and belonging for children and provide opportunities to develop social and observational skills with different people, places, and environments.  We also offer an engaging sustainability program teaching the children a sense of responsibility and connection to their world. 

Our wonderful centre boasts a family like environment with long term staff and we encourage community involvement. Great family connections are important to us and we embrace parent and guardian participation. As members of our Community Kids community, we look forward to partnering with you to provide information, support, and high-quality education and care in your child’s formative years.
