Altona Meadows Children's Service

Our service has a warm, family feel.

Our open door policy means that you are welcome to drop in at any time to spend time with your children. You can take as much time as you need to settle your children in when you drop them off in the mornings.

Our approach

We promote healthy eating and offer a range of food for lunch. We offer stir fries, vegetarian meals, homemade pasties, soups and hearty stews. We also cater for children with food allergies and provide cultural diets.

We foster the Reggio Emilia Philosophy at our service and believe the environment is the ‘third teacher’, encouraging exploration and imagination, reflecting the natural world. You will often see our resident chickens running around the yard with the children. All our educators are passionate about their roles and strive to provide the best possible care for your children.
