Choklits Child Care & Kindergarten Croydon

At Choklits Croydon, we are proud to have a dedicated team of over 45 educators, each bringing a unique blend of experience, backgrounds, and diversity to our centre. Our team is committed to providing a nurturing, inclusive, and high-quality learning environment for all the children in our care.

Led by our director, who brings over seven years of management experience in the early childhood education industry, our team thrives under strong, experienced leadership. Our director holds a Bachelor of Psychology, an Advanced Diploma in Community Sector Management, and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, ensuring that our centre is guided by expert knowledge and a passion for fostering development in both children and educators alike.

In addition to our director, we have a team of more than five Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers, each with a deep commitment to early education and a shared focus on creating rich, engaging learning experiences. Together, our team works collaboratively, supporting each child’s individual growth, learning, and well-being while creating a vibrant and positive atmosphere for both educators and families.

At Choklits Croydon, we believe in the power of diverse perspectives and experiences, and we work together to create a community where children can thrive, families feel supported, and educators can continually develop their skills and knowledge.

Choklits Croydon places a strong emphasis on providing children with high-quality meals throughout the day. All meals and snacks are prepared by our skilled centre chef, who ensures that every child's dietary needs are carefully catered for.

Meal times are designed to be a calm, social experience, where children can enjoy their food in a relaxed and supportive environment.

For breakfast, the centre offers a selection of toast, ensuring a simple yet wholesome start to the day; pasta, soup, stir-fry and casseroles for lunch as well as a range of fruit and veggie platters, cheese, crackers and dip, raisin toast, sandwiches and mini pizzas for snack times.

We recognise the importance of physical activity in supporting children's overall development. To engage and inspire our young learners, we incorporate a variety of sports and movement programs into our daily routine. These programs are designed not only to enhance physical coordination, strength, and endurance but also to foster teamwork, communication, and social skills.

Through carefully planned activities, we promote gross motor development, hand-eye coordination, and a positive attitude towards physical fitness. By offering diverse movement-based experiences, children are encouraged to explore new skills in a fun and engaging way, which supports their cognitive and emotional growth.

Our commitment to fostering holistic development is further reinforced by our alignment with the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC). We ensure that our programs and practices are informed by the key domains of the AEDC, supporting children’s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development in a balanced and meaningful manner. This approach ensures that all children have the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
