At A.C.E Child Care Centre, we believe every child deserves a warm and supportive start in life. Located in the heart of Doncaster East, our purpose-built centre provides a safe, happy space where children from 6 weeks to 6 years can learn, play, and grow with confidence.
About A.C.E Child Care Centre
Located in Doncaster East, A.C.E Child Care Centre has been proudly caring for local families for over 30 years.
Our purpose-built, family-run centre provides a warm, welcoming, and homelike environment where every child feels safe, supported, and valued.
We care for up to 34 children each day, offering a close-knit community where children are truly known and nurtured.
Our Educational Approach
At A.C.E Child Care Centre, we believe children learn best through play, curiosity, and connection. Our educational program is guided by children’s voices, interests, and developmental needs. Educators use an emergent curriculum approach — planning, implementing, and adapting experiences that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and confidence.
We focus on building children’s independence, resilience, and sense of belonging, while fostering strong relationships that support emotional wellbeing. Both indoors and outdoors, children are encouraged to explore, make choices, and engage in meaningful play with their peers.
Our environments inspire curiosity and skill-building, while sustainable practices — such as gardening, composting, and caring for living things — help children learn about responsibility and their connection to the natural world.
Our Educators
All our educators are permanent members of our team, with several having been with us for over 20 years. This continuity ensures that children and families enjoy trusted, consistent relationships throughout their early learning journey.
Our educators are passionate about enriching each child’s learning and development in a nurturing, respectful, and caring environment. Their dedication and genuine love for their work help create a warm, family-like atmosphere where children thrive.
Our educators follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) to ensure each child’s learning and wellbeing are at the centre of everything we do.
