Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

As a parent, you naturally want to give your child the best start in life.

At Journey, we know that kindergarten is an essential building block for your child’s education. That is why we pride ourselves on delivering high quality early learning and rewarding programs for your child.

What is a funded kindergarten?

The funded kindergarten program is designed to help more children enrol in early education by providing a contribution towards the cost of the program. Created and delivered by a qualified Early Childhood Teacher, the program aims to support each child’s learning and development in line with the government’s early years learning and development framework.

School Readiness

Readiness encompasses the factors that help children achieve success in school. It’s not a single moment in time but rather a unique journey that each child progresses through at their own pace.

The benefits of attending a pre-kinder and kinder room extend far beyond a child’s school years. Starting a quality program at an earlier age has a hugely positive impact on their development, helping them to develop key life skills.

Research has shown that children in Year 3 who attended kindergarten were up to 20 weeks ahead of those who did not. Equally, by the age of 16, students who attended three years of kindergarten were more likely to achieve higher scores in their Maths and English exams.

Play-based Learning

Children learn best when their bodies and minds are stimulated, and being active allows them to do just that. Play-based learning gives each child a chance to explore the world around them through play, letting their imagination come alive. This helps them listen, learn and engage with others.

A play-based learning kindergarten can also encourage children to be more curious while boosting their confidence in the process.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

Fresh, seasonal ingredients

Here at Future Foodies, we’re passionate about fresh, seasonal ingredients. Fresh produce is way healthier and provides superior nutrition for growing children. Fresh produce also tastes yummier, as well as being better for the environment and our local communities. You just can’t beat it!

Nutrition plays a vital role in a child’s development and instilling healthy eating habits at a young age can have lifelong benefits. But food is about so much more than just nutrition. That’s why we have created Future Foodies: A holistic food programme at the heart of every Journey Early Learning Centre.

Future Foodies at a glance:

• Menus specially developed by our experienced nutritionist

• Fresh, seasonal and wholesome produce

• Expanding children’s paletes with herbs and spices

• Feedback from children and chefs is actively incorporated into menus

• Custom menus adapted to individual needs (allergies, intolerances)

• Holistic approach to food

• Food is part of the curriculum and integrated into play based learning

Future Foodies Philosophy

Here at Future Foodies we’re on a mission to get children excited about food. Educating them about the entire food process, from planting through to composting. Encouraging them to be adventurous with exciting new flavours and textures. Reminding them that occasional treats are to be enjoyed. It’s not all broccoli birthday cakes. Bringing them together to share not only meals, but also jokes, stories and tall tales. Demonstrating that food is a wonderful gift to savour, enjoy and celebrate. From the very first bite to seconds (and thirds), our role is to instil a passion for food that will last a lifetime. In so doing we’re helping create the next generation of Future Foodies.

Chief Foodie Officer (CFO)

Future Foodies is headed up by Teri Lichtenstein, an accredited nutritionist and dietician with over 25 years experience. Teri is a member of Dieticians Australia, Sports Dieticians Australia, and was a Board Director of Nutrition Australia from 2017 to 2021. As a mother of two children, she understands that it’s vital to develop good eating habits from a young age. For Teri, it’s about keeping it real and focusing on not only nutrition, but also taste, novelty and inclusion.

We’ve been attending Journey Early Learning Bacchus Marsh for some time now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care our two children receive. The staff are exceptional—always warm, kind, and dedicated to creating a nurturing environment. It’s clear they genuinely care about the kids, and they’ve built strong, trusting relationships with our children. The facilities are always clean, bright, and well-maintained, providing a safe and inviting space for the kids to play and learn. From the educational programs to the creative activities, we feel confident knowing our children are in a place that fosters both their development and happiness. We highly recommend Journey Early Bacchus Marsh to any parent looking for quality care and a positive, supportive environment for their little ones.
