Welcome to Chipmunks Childcare Sydney Melbourne – Family owned and operated

Our 6 locations across Sydney and Melbourne have been designed with our core values in mind which are around enhancing the educational outcome for young children in the communities we operate in. We recognise that the environment is a third teacher in the education of children, and hence prepare our environments to reflect the current interests and learning of each child and age group. At Chipmunks Child Care we reflect the individual interests and developmental needs of each child in our care. We ensure each child is reflected within our program as well as the experiences we provide.

Across all child cares near you in Sydney and Melbourne, children have access to meaningful indoor experiences as well as outdoor. Children’s safety both indoor and outdoors is a main priority across all locations.

At Chipmunks Daycare Melbourne Sydney we pride ourselves on having strong communication with families across all locations, this includes daily updates on the children’s learning and interest, routine information including sleep and eating as well as upcoming events and all incidents being communicated effectively. We ensure our families feel valued and able to give input through regular family surveys.

At Chipmunks Preschools we recognise the importance of safety, well-being and belonging. Through our programs and meaningful interactions we believe your child will learn, reach milestones and most importantly, have the best time before their transition to school. At Chipmunks Early Learning Centres we strongly believe that a child begins learning from the moment they enter the world, and never stops, even into adulthood.
