North St Kilda Children's Centre
Childcare and kindergarten facility upgrades
To enable redevelopment works at Eildon Road Childcare and Kindergarten (ERCK), the service has temporarily relocated to North St Kilda Children’s Centre, with both centres operating from the same site on a temporary basis.
ERCK will be operating a full long day childcare and kindergarten service (7.30 am to 6.15 pm) for ages 3 months to 6 years at this site and is now accepting enrolments. All meals are included in the daily cost of $163. If you would like to discuss the service please contact coordinator@eildonroad.com.au or 03 9534 7442.
At North St Kilda Children’s Centre children aged 0-3 years will relocate to Bubup Nairm Children’s Centre from January 2026. 4-year-old children will remain at North St Kilda Children’s Centre.

Our programs
At our Council-managed services we offer a rich and stimulating play-based educational program that is designed around children's interests and developmental needs.
Children’s wellbeing is at the heart of all we do. Our educators support children to develop social and emotional skills through playing, learning, and exploring with their peers.
The indoor and outdoor spaces feature resources and opportunities that allow children of all abilities to be included in the program.
We respect and value the diversity of our community. We strive to reflect the cultures and values of families in our services.
Nutrition
We offer breakfast for those who arrive at the centre before 8.15 am.
Morning, afternoon tea and snacks are provided.
Children are required to provide their own lunch, which builds their independence in preparation for starting school.
