ECMS will open a new kindergarten in 2023 in the Mt Atkinson development

Early Childhood Management Services (ECMS) has been chosen as the manager for the new kindergarten in the Mt Atkinson development and will work alongside the Melton City Council and the Victorian Government to have the centre open in early 2023, for families to commence from Term 1. 

The Mt Atkinson Kindergarten will offer free kindergarten programs for three- and four-year-old children, adding over 300 early learning places to the local community.

Located in the heart of the new development, as part of the Mt Atkinson Children’s and Community Centre, the service is located across from shops, close to a new Westfield development, and next door to a planned recreation reserve and primary school. 

It is hoped by developers that children will be able to build friendships and develop strong social connections that carry through their early years to primary school.

The kindergarten design features airy, modern rooms with big windows and visibility between rooms, and will allow children to move seamlessly between indoor and outdoor areas where the shady landscaped area has loads of space, plants, and natural features for them to explore and experience.

The program will be resourced with items and opportunities that encourage curiosity, collaboration with friends and hands on play.

The 2023 timetable is available here, with registration information here. 

Mt Atkinson Children’s & Community Centre will be located at 160 Clara Avenue, Truganina 3029.
