Welcome to Ivanhoe Co-op!
We are a 48 place childcare centre providing care and education for children aged from 18 months to 6 years of age. Our aim is to make Co-op a warm and caring environment, where each individual feels safe, secure, and a sense of belonging, whilst being valued as a unique person.
One of Co-op’s distinctive characteristics is that we offer a blended age group program where children can play together in a supportive, family-like environment. They are cared for by a team of friendly, welcoming and skilled early childhood professionals.
We also offer a Government funded Kindergarten Program for our 3 and 4 year olds, that is run by qualified Early Childhood Teachers.
Ivanhoe Co-op is managed by parents who use the centre. The Board of Directors work in conjunction with the Coordinator to ensure that the childcare provided is of the highest quality.
HANDBOOK
We understand starting childcare can be a little unsettling for your child and the whole family. We endeavour to make the transition as smooth as possible for you.
