Such a great place! Staff are genuinely great, centre is beautiful, lots of windows, changing and sleeping areas are safe and open areas. The staff literally tick all the boxes, share photos of their daily activities every session, and I can pop in and collect my child anytime without notice. Our child is happy here and is cared for. They tend to individual interests and make entire play areas based individual child interests. They have great experiences at King Kids Dandenong

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

The design of our centre fuels your child’s natural curiosity! Each room delivers a mix of structured activities and open-ended play that encourages your child to explore, discover, and learn. We celebrate individuality, culture, community which support us in adapting our teaching approach to each child’s unique style, energy levels and needs. This allows them to blossom at their own pace, building confidence and a love for the discovery of the world around them.

Programs

Programs

We believe in nurturing not only young minds but also our planet. That’s why our Bush Kindergarten Program is delivered outdoors through natural environments. It gives children a unique opportunity and freedom to learn through play with natural materials in outdoor environments. We visit metropolitan parks, local bushland, community surroundings and visitor sites. By increasing the amount of time children spend outdoors and in natural environments our Bush Kindergarten program improves children’s connections to nature which encourages their knowledge and commitments to environmental sustainability.

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

At Dandenong Early Learning Centre, our 3 and 4-year-old kindergarten programs are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and support school readiness. Led by qualified and passionate teachers, our play-based learning environment nurtures social and emotional growth, early literacy and numeracy, and creative exploration through music, art, and hands-on activities. Each child is supported to develop at their own pace, with a strong focus on building friendships, communication, and critical thinking skills. Kindergarten hours flow seamlessly into extended care, allowing children to continue their day of learning and play right up until 6:30pm.

We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention my child receives at KingKids ELC and Kindergarten. From the very beginning the team has made us feel welcomed, supported, and confident in the decision we made. Each morning, as I drop my child off the moment we walk in we’re greeted by passionate and caring staff with warm smiles that instantly make your day. It’s a beautiful feeling of peace knowing your child is in such good hands. Every educator brings such positive energy. it’s the kind of start every child deserves. My son often needs cuddles in the morning and what touches me the most is how even educators who aren’t in his room still know him, care for him and greet him with open arms. It truly feels like one big family. We also really appreciate the thoughtful approach to nutrition at King Kids. My son isn’t usually a fan of milk but the centre offers more than just fruit in the morning. They make fresh smoothies, which he absolutely loves and that way he has his dairy intake as well! Even more special is that the children get to choose their fav. fruits and with the support of the educators even gets to press the button to blend their own smoothies. These little everyday experiences build confidence and independence and as a parent it means a lot. He’s also been picking up Spanish through his favourite incursions! He’s now counting numbers in Spanish and singing “La Lechuza” at home, which makes us so happy. These learning moments are not only fun but filled with culture and meaning. And of course, the incursions are the highlight of his week. He absolutely loves Tito and Tita’s visits every Friday, filled with music and joy. And the African drumming sessions happening right now have become a big favourite too. Ghizal (Service Director)is the heart of KingKids ELC & Kindergarten. Her kind nature and the way she connects with every family is so special She leads with so much love and understanding. And the amazing team - Ana, Sachini, Adrian, Mia, Nur, and lovely Chef Muyeser you all complete this place. Each one of you brings something special and together you create a beautiful, nurturing environment for our children. We receive daily updates with beautiful photos and thoughtful reflections about what the children have been learning and exploring. Weekly emails keep families informed and involved, which means so much and that help us feel connected to what’s happening in our child’s world. Honestly, whatever I write here won’t ever feel enough. I could go on and on and I’d still run out of words. But one thing I know for sure we love this place 100%🩵 not even 1% less. It’s everything a parent could hope for. It’s a space where we know our most precious little ones are receiving all the love, care, and attention they need while we’re away. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Big Love - Rehaan, Sharan & Roop🩵

Response from the owner 01 Jul 2025

Dear Sharan, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words. Your message brought so much joy to all of us at KingKids Dandenong. It’s families like yours who make our community so special. Hearing that your child starts his mornings with smiles and cuddles means the world to us. We’re so glad he feels safe, supported, and truly known by everyone here. That sense of connection is exactly what we hope to create for every child and family who walks through our doors! Your appreciation of the small but meaningful moments, like the smoothie-making and Spanish songs, truly reminds us why we do what we do. These everyday experiences are designed to build confidence, independence, and joy, and we’re so happy to know they’ve made a difference for your family. Ghizal, along with Ana, Sachini, Adrian, Mia, Nur, and our amazing Chef Muyeser, feel incredibly proud to be able to contribute to this journey. Thank you for recognising their care and commitment. Your words mean more than we can say. We are deeply grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us and look forward to continuing this journey with you. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful reflections!! Warmest regards, The KingKids Dandenong Team

Incredible facility! Extremely welcoming even before you get in the door. You can tell the staff take their jobs seriously and have extreme pride in what they do. The free playgroup every fortnight is fantastic for getting out and about and meeting some new people. Cleanliness is fantastic absolutely blown away by the no shoes on the babies room rule also I absolutely love that so much especially having a child myself who picks up anything off the floor. The food smells amazing from the moment you walk in the door you know your child is getting the best of the best. Fees don’t kill us budget wise which is another winner in my books as someone who’s VERY budget conscious. My daughter comes home happy, well fed and very excited to go back again each week.

Response from the owner 30 Jun 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words, Bronwynn Watkins! We’re so glad to hear you felt welcomed and that your daughter is happy and excited to return each week. It means a lot to know our team, playgroup, cleanliness, and nourishing meals have made such a great impression. We truly value having your family as part of our KingKids Dandenong community. 💜💛❤️
