Both of my children attended Froebel Alexandria over seven and a half years, and I couldn’t recommend the centre more highly. The staff were always excellent and genuinely connected with our family, so much so that they stayed in touch with my older son after he moved on. Communication was open and flexible at every level, from the educators to the centre director and head office. Above all, the centre puts children’s safety and wellbeing first, with clear policies and communication to back that up.

About Froebel Alexandria

Welcome to Froebel Alexandria!

Nestled in the heart of Sydney Park Village, Froebel Alexandria is a not-for-profit early learning centre and preschool for children aged 6 months to 5 years. With space for 44 children, our centre offers a warm and welcoming environment, with a beautiful outdoor garden and learning spaces, including garden beds.

Inspired by Friedrich Froebel's educational philosophy, we believe children learn best through play, exploration and discovery. Our child-centred approach encourages curiosity, independence and confidence, giving children the freedom to follow their interests and learn at their own pace.

Our Little Scientists program brings learning to life through hands-on STEM experiences, encouraging children to ask questions, experiment and explore. With Sydney Park nearby, we also enjoy regular excursions and outdoor learning experiences.

We are proud of our diverse community and value the different backgrounds, cultures and experiences families and educators bring to our centre. German is also part of everyday life, with children introduced to the language through conversations, stories, songs and familiar routines. We also celebrate cultural traditions, including our annual German lantern walk.

Sustainability is part of our everyday practice, with projects such as our Recycling Tree and participation in Clean Up Australia Day helping children develop an appreciation for the environment.

We value close partnerships with families, taking the time to get to know each child, share experiences, celebrate milestones and work together to support their individual needs and development. 

Please get in touch to find out more about your child's Froebel journey! We'd love to meet your family!

Services Provided by Froebel Alexandria

Regular excursions icon

Regular excursions

At Froebel Alexandria, regular excursions are an important part of our learning program. With Sydney Park right on our doorstep, children have wonderful opportunities to explore the natural environment, observe the world around them and extend their learning beyond the centre. These experiences encourage curiosity, discovery and a connection with the local community.

Family Grouping icon

Family Grouping

At Froebel Alexandria, family grouping creates opportunities for children of different ages to learn and grow alongside one another. Younger children benefit from the experiences and confidence of older peers, while older children develop empathy, patience and a sense of responsibility. It also helps build familiar, caring relationships and a strong sense of belonging, creating a close-knit community where every child is valued.

Sustainability icon

Sustainability

At Froebel Alexandria, sustainability is woven into everyday learning and practice. Children are encouraged to develop an appreciation for the natural environment through hands-on experiences such as caring for our garden, recycling and reusing materials, and learning to look after the world around them. From our Recycling Tree to taking part in Clean Up Australia Day, we help children understand that even small actions can make a difference.

Community Feel icon

Community Feel

At Froebel Alexandria, we’re proud of the strong sense of community that makes our centre so special. We value the connections between children, families and educators, and the different backgrounds, cultures and experiences everyone brings. From shared celebrations and family events to the everyday conversations and connections that happen along the way, we create a welcoming environment where families feel part of the Froebel community.

We absolutely loved our time at frobel parkville. The teachers were so warm and welcoming, nothing ever felt like problem. For an inner city childcare the space is so well set up for outdoor play and excursions on top of that.<br>Couldn’t fault it and would highly recommend!

My son and daughter both attended Fröebel Alexandria until kindy. I remember thinking that no one would be able to get my son to nap in a cot without me there, but they did it on his first day (17 months old). I was able to go back to work part time when my daughter was only 6 months old because we had trusted friends in the Nangami (nursery) by then and they cared for her like a member of the family. She still thinks of Fröebel as a second home. Both children have formed strong and lasting friendships with the other children there over the years, and we have become friends with the parents as well. Fröebel prioritizes fostering community - this has been a huge benefit as well. They are a nonprofit, and really prioritize the physical and emotional wellbeing of the children. If we’ve ever had any concerns, which has been rare, they have prioritized meeting us in person and listened to us and the children. We are sad to be leaving the Fröebel community after 8 years!

We loved our time at Froebel. Both our children aged 4 and 2 excelled at Froebel. We loved the educators, environment and emphasis on the child's choice. Both our children were surrounded by so much love and encouragement. They fostered their creativity and we appreciated being updated often on their progress. So happy with our time here!

We have been in Froebel since 2023, when my first child was there in the preschool room. My second joined in 2024, and will be leaving to go to school next year, whilst my third is still in the Nursery room. My children and I have had so many fond memories of Froebel, whilst my children loved the outdoor space and that they get to be outdoors almost everyday even on days with light rain, I loved the genuineness of all the teachers. The teachers there are warm and engaging, and very hands on. You know that feeling that when you go on tours and you wonder whether the centre is only putting on a show to attract potential families? I can guarantee you that Froebel isn't one of them. I really love Froebel's philosophy, how they give time and space, how they positively guide children's behaviour in challenging situations, and how they are a child safe organisation. They really reflect on their practices and take feedback carefully. I love how sustainable they are - for example, a lot of their displays don't have plastic - a little goes a long way. Even if their current quality rating is meeting, I personally think they should be exceeding. So if you ever go to Froebel and do a tour, and become one of their families, you're in luck - because your most precious little one is going to be so well looked after by dedicated teachers. 😊 Also I wanted to thank Froebel, for growing my second child to grow out of their shell and become more confident in going to school next year (2026). I can't be thankful enough.
