Craigieburn West Early Learning Centre

At our Craigieburn West centre, we provide high-quality early education and care in a nurturing and welcoming environment.

We're located next door to Aitken Creek Primary School, which is a five-minute drive or bus ride from Craigieburn Central and a ten-minute drive from Craigieburn train station.

Our centre has dedicated spaces for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as well as music and language programs. We have large outdoor spaces and a vegetable garden for children to explore and learn about sustainability.

As a community-focused, not-for-profit centre, we love getting to know all our families and pride ourselves on the relationships we develop. We know that by working together, we can help your child thrive.

Kylie Keen

With 27 years of experience in early childhood education, I'm passionate about caring for children and nurturing their social, emotional, physical and educational needs.

I create a safe and comfortable learning environment, which is critical for both families and educators as it allows the best outcomes for children.

I also pride myself on leading a team to success. I empower our educators to achieve their own personal and professional goals, so that families feel confident in us caring for and educating their child.

I am a mum of five children myself (and have three grandchildren), which keeps me on my toes! My family also work with children who require out of home care. Although this can come with challenges, it's rewarding to watch children and young people thrive in a supportive environment.

Ravinder Kirk

I have over 12 years of experience in the Early Childhood Education and Care sector. I started as a trainee assistant, while continuing my studies and worked my way up to a Room Leader and now the Educational Leader/Assistant Manager.

I enjoy working with young children and families, as well as supporting the staff to create safe and welcoming environments in which the children can learn and grow. My aim is to support educators in developing educational programs throughout the service to provide the best start for children and teach them lifelong skills.

I love working with the Craigieburn team, and I look forward to meeting new families!

Our programs qualify for the Federal Government's Child Care Subsidy (CCS).

CCS helps eligible families access approved and registered child care providers by partially subsidising the cost of daily fees.
