At Ormond Childcare, we leverage Xplor, an innovative education management platform designed to elevate early childhood learning.

It enables us to capture real-time observations, and the parental engagement features include personalised updates, direct educator access, photo sharing, and transparent incident reporting.

Parents receive a higher level of insight into their child’s time and milestones at our centre. The app makes all aspects of early education more streamlined, from attendance, to billing and compliance.

With Xplor, we have found the perfect solution to nurture the crucial bond between families, educators and children during these vital early years. It is at the core of how we facilitate engaging learning to help our children bloom into curious, confident individuals.

At our centre, we are passionate about promoting healthy eating habits from the very start. That’s why we provide freshly prepared, nutritious meals every day.

Our menus are designed in partnership with Feed Australia, ensuring a balance of whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and proteins that meet national dietary guidelines.

Each child’s individual dietary needs and allergies are carefully considered, and meal times are also learning opportunities where children explore food, build independence, and enjoy eating with peers.

By fostering a positive relationship with food early on, we help build lifelong healthy habits in a supportive and fun environment.

We believe that strong community ties are essential to a child’s growth. At our centre, we regularly host warm, inclusive events that bring families and educators together.

Celebrations like Father’s Day BBQs, Diwali, Easter Egg Hunts, and the Christmas Zumbini Showcase help children form lasting memories while strengthening the bonds among families, educators, and neighbours.

These connections provide a deeper sense of belonging, enrich learning, and create a support network around each child’s journey in early education.

We tailor learning programs and activities specific to each age group, understanding that children develop best when engaged at their levels of readiness. Our goal is to nurture development while instilling confidence and capability to excel in life’s next adventures.

Our nursery caters to infants (6 weeks to 14 months) by emphasising emotional bonds through sensory play and routines that build security. As they grow to toddlers (14 months to 3 years) they grow more independent and are supported in physical movement and handling big emotions.

In our pre-K room from ages 3-4, we prepare children for the school years ahead by developing fine motor, socialisation, teamwork and life skills through games, crafts and lessons. Finally in Kinder for 4-6 year olds, we ensure school readiness with organisational skills and education including literacy and numeracy.
