*Here at Future Kids Bacchus Marsh, we strive to open and inspire endless opportunities and continually create, innovate, change and improve our practices.

*To allow time for our children to refine and practice skills that they have learned and to feel safe and supported within our learning environments.

*To build positive and trusting relationships and interactions with children and support their individual needs. We believe every child is unique, individual and should be celebrated.

*We believe every child has the right to make choices around their learning, should feel a strong sense of well-being.

As you enter our service you are greeted with a smile and hello, by everyone of our friendly team.

There is a seating area with our book exchange close by for you to sit and relax with adult, children and relevant information regarding childcare close by.

This book exchange was set up by our Kindergarten children after a discussion on what books they had at home.

Once through our gate you are greeted by our piazza where all rooms come together as a family to enjoy our beautiful freshly cooked meals by Miss Shey, We enjoy this interaction as each child can choose who they sit with, while enjoying their meals. This area also offers our older children to help our younger ones serving their meals and helping seat them, giving them a sense of responsibility and pride.

Each of our 6  rooms are created and arrange by dedicated and qualified team to enchased every child who attends induvial learning  and development stage.

Our kindergarten children in our yellow room have full say over their design of their room with room meetings being held with our Kinder teacher Mr Ray where they discuss how they want to set their own room up and help arrange this offering our kindergarten children say in their own environment.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Our outdoor areas are designed to enchased children’s love of outdoors, with climbing forts, sandpits, natural rocks and bark areas, all areas are covered with shade sails to encourage continued outdoor play even in summer time. We have three outdoor areas for play and a special area for our garden.

We have started to plant some vegetables and herbs with focus on native plants we can enjoy.
