About Us
The Fawkner Park Childrens Centre was established as a cooperative in 1989. It has a rich history dating back to post-world war 2 when it first opened with the specific aim of providing high quality professional care for children.
Here at Fawkner Park Childrens Centre we aim to provide a happy, relaxed and safe atmosphere for children to develop a love of learning.
We provide a number of learning experiences that will extend children in all areas of development social, emotional, language, cognitive, sensory, and fine and gross motor skills. Our program is based around an emergent curriculum. Both the National Early Years Learning and Development Framework and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework underpin all programming and experiences for children.
We provide an inclusive environment, where diverse social and ethnic backgrounds and abilities are respected and celebrated.
Our teaching and resources reflect a commitment to gender, cultural and social equality.
Each room has a developmentally appropriate program, designed for the individual needs of the child.
A regular program of workshops and visitors to the centre broadens childrens experiences and enriches the program.
