Creating Vibrant Environments Where Children Can Learn, Grow and Develop

At our kindergartens your child will receive the highest quality early learning.

They will be educated and cared for by teachers and educators who understand their needs. Meaningful connections will be built with your child and your family as well as the local community.

Our Story

Community Kinders Plus is a place-based, not-for-profit Early Years Manager.
We began operation in 2012 and are funded by the Victorian Department of Education to manage kindergartens. These kindergartens are spread across Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula Shire and the City of Kingston. By providing professionally managed kindergartens we ensure that children receive the highest quality early learning.
