Auburn Kindergarten & Child Care Centre

Auburn Kindergarten & Child Care Centre

Auburn Kindergarten & Childcare Centre opened its doors in February 1977. It was the 1000th kindergarten to open in Victoria. The facility has been maintained and improved by the parent-run Committee of Management over the years. In 2016, the City of Boroondara renovated the building.

The Centre offers long-term care for children aged 3 to 6 years. The Centre also offers separate, stand-alone sessional kindergarten programs for children aged 3 and 4.
