Frequently asked questions
How can I enroll my child at Cire Early Learning?
To begin the process, you can complete an enquiry form on the Cire website or call our support team on 1300 835 235.
Are all kindergarten programs at Cire led by qualified teachers?
Every kindergarten program at Cire is led by a university-trained, Bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher. This ensures that every child in a Cire Melbourne kindergarten program receives an education that aligns with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF).
Do Cire programs include Bush Kinder?
Yes, Cire is well-known for its Bush Kinder program. This experience takes the Melbourne kindergarten curriculum outdoors, allowing children to learn in local bushland settings. They explore nature, build resilience and develop problem-solving skills in an open-ended, natural environment.
Which Cire locations offer kindergarten?
Cire provides high-quality Melbourne kindergarten options across several locations to support local families. You can access sessional programs at Chirnside Park and Pakenham (Hollins Children’s Centre), or integrated programs at our Croydon, Lilydale, Mt Evelyn and Yarra Junction centres.
Is kindergarten compulsory in Victoria?
No, kindergarten is not compulsory. However, it is strongly recommended because it helps children develop the social, emotional and cognitive skills needed for school. Most families find that attending two years of a quality Melbourne kindergarten program creates a much smoother transition to primary school.
