Welcome to Kids On Collins

Welcome to Kids On Collins!

Kids On Collins is owned and operated by The Eltham College Foundation Ltd.

The Eltham College Foundation Ltd is a registered charity and a not-for-profit organisation, established in 1982. Since 2002, they have operated child care and early learning Centres and operate under the trading name Little Flyers Learning Centres. In addition to Kids on Collins, they proudly operate 4 Little Flyers Centres located at Eltham North, Caroline Springs and two in Doreen (Laurimar).

Kids on Collins has been in operation in Melbourne's CBD since 1996. Hailing as one of the first Early Education environments in Melbourne's CBD, its reputation for education and care continues to outshine many others that have now come into operation. Kids on Collins was the first ECEC setting in Australia to boast a Gardens in the Sky outdoor learning and development area for children. The Centre originated in a leased facility at 600 Collins Street which is soon to be demolished for the purpose of building a new high-rise building. This provided them with the incentive to create a state-of-the-art early learning facility for Kids on Collins at the heritage-listed MacPherson Building at 544-546 Collins Street. Kids on Collins will operate from this new location from January 24, 2022.

Centre extras:

  • New state-of-the-art facilities
  • Reggio Emilia's approach to learning
  • Convenient CBD location
  • Menu endorsed by Nutrition Australia
  • School readiness program
  • Consistent staffing roster for continuity of care
  • Included in fees - Legionnaires sun hat, funded 3 and 4-year-old kindergarten child receives two kindergarten polos

What the parents say

My children have attended Kids on Collins for over three years now. Since day one, my children have only received the most exceptional care, attention, and education. We love all the great things my children learn and bring home. The app is also fantastic because I can see what my children are up to and what they know every day. I love their transparency and the trust we have for the centre. It's incredible, but I have never, not once, had any issue with any of the educators at the centre. On the contrary, every one of them has always greeted and treated all of us with the utmost respect. This is why I have always appreciated and always acknowledge the excellent work and care they carry out to ensure my children and all children at the centre experience just a pleasant adventure in one of the most critical stages in their lives. It is one of the best places you could send your children.

My children have been attending Kids on Collins for the past 3 years. The communication and responsiveness of all staff and management is exceptional. I am able to speak with the educators at pick up to get an update about their day. They are all very passionate about each child's development and needs. The centre runs a fantastic educational program and excursions throughout the year that keep them engaged.  Each day journals are posted which give a run down of the day's activities together with lots of photos. They have an inhouse chef who makes freshly cooked nutritious meals that my children love. I am very thankful to have found an amazing centre with equally amazing staff.

Our family has been with Kids on Collins for the last 6 years with our three children and love this centre. The staff are so caring for our children and are invested in their wellbeing and early education. Jenn the Centre Director has created this safe and fun environment for all the families and amazes me on her personal knowledge of all the children and parents names. As a parent of a child with anaphylaxis, one of the key attributes of this centre is its comprehensive allergy procedure which ensures that all children are kept safe and gives us the reassurance of leaving our child in their care. I would highly recommend this excellent centre to anyone looking for care. 

Audrey

Our daughter Lexi has attended Kids on Collins for the last 2 years. Jennifer Farrell and her team are knowledgeable, caring and professional. I am impressed as I watch my daughter's progress with new learning over the time she has spent at the Centre. Our daughter even eats vegetables at the Centre that we have been unable to feed her at home! One of the best aspects of the Centre are the detailed daily updates and photos on their app. That provides me confidence that she is being well looked after. I am grateful to Jenn and the staff at Kids on Collins for the excellent care and support they have shown us over the past couple of years. I highly recommend the Centre and will be sending our next daughter, Indie to this Centre shortly!
