About Eden Academy Footscray

Eden Academy Footscray offers a supportive and nurturing environment for young learners aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Through an enriching and engaging learning experience, the educators empower the children to build their knowledge, social skills and imaginations. Every child’s individual strengths are nurtured to ensure they have a positive start in their lifelong learning journey.

Inside, the children can enjoy a range of activities that suit different learning styles and needs. A home away from home, the centre is light and calming to create the best possible atmosphere for learning. The children have access to different natural resources, toys and books to support them in their daily learning.

Outside, the children can play freely alongside their peers as they start to learn about the world around them. With different activities to engage their senses, outside play time is a favourite among the children at the centre.

Conveniently located in a commercial area of Footscray, the centre is easy to access. Parents can also use the onsite car park of the purpose-built centre, making the busy pick up and drop off that much easier. Why not book a tour of this modern and homelike centre today?

Get To Know Us

Programs

Programs

With a holistic focus, the program at Eden Academy ensures the children grow in all areas of their development. This includes social, emotional, physical and cognitive skill development. 

Nature is an important part of the program, teaching the children to respect and care for the environment. The children learn how vegetables grow and enjoy nature play activities. They understand the calm of spending time outdoors and enjoy all of nature’s creations.

Health and wellbeing is another focus of the program. The children learn about healthy eating and nutrition through the meals prepared by the centre chef. The centre also worked with allied health professionals, including speech pathologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, to ensure the children have every opportunity to thrive.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

Through play-based learning and fun activities, the educators at Eden Academy teach a holistic and age-appropriate curriculum. Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, the curriculum goes above and beyond to nurture each child and their unique talents, needs and interests.

The curriculum is delivered across four different learning environments:

  • Nursery (0 – 15 Months): the educators foster the children’s imagination, providing them with sensory experiences and opportunities for mindfulness.
  • Toddler (15 Months – 2 Years): the children develop their social and emotional skills, including sharing and independence. 
  • Pre-Kindy (2 – 3 Years): the educators balance fun and play with a steady introduction to structured learning. The children develop early friendships and build on the foundations of their physical and motor skills.
  • Kindergarten (3 – 5 Years): the children start to prepare for the transition to school through a more formal learning environment. Rest, play and fun are still important elements in the day, with imaginative and sensory activities that help to build critical thinking, confidence and independence.
Safety

Safety

Rigorous Recruitment & Screening - All Eden team members undergo thorough checks — including Working With Children, ID, work history, references, right to work, background, and child protection training — to ensure the highest safety standards.

Ongoing Staff Training - Our educators and leaders regularly complete professional development in child protection, identifying signs of harm, mandatory reporting, and creating safe spaces.

Clear Policies & Procedures - We have strong systems in place for reporting and responding to concerns, guided by our Child Protection Policy, Code of Conduct, and Risk Management and Incident Reporting processes.

This is my personal experience at Eden Academy Footscray. Muna treats staff in a very unprofessional and harsh way. Her communication is often rude, dismissive, and makes people feel uncomfortable. I strongly believe this is unacceptable behavior for anyone working in early childhood education. Theresa is kind and professional, but it seems she does not take action regarding her assistant’s behavior. Students doing their placement are often ignored and undervalued. Most of the time, they are only used as cleaners instead of having their time and learning respected. From my experience, the environment can be emotionally challenging and discouraging. In conclusion, I believe the leadership should seriously reflect on their actions. If you have the opportunity to do your placement here, I would advise against it—it can be a very difficult and unpleasant experience.

Eden Academy’s Kindergarten Program

We aim to give your child the best possible start to their school journey, which is why our Kindergarten programs are approved by the government and overseen by experienced early childhood teachers with bachelor qualifications!

In our Kindergarten program, your child will have the opportunity to learn, grow, and explore in a familiar and comfortable environment. They will be surrounded by their friends from Pre-Kindy and educators who have been with them since the beginning of their time at Eden.

For those who are new to Eden and starting Kindergarten, the well-established routines and the presence of children familiar with these routines will provide a supportive guide for your child throughout the day, making it easier for them to settle in quickly.
