Diploma (ACCEQ) | KU Craigieburn Children's Centre

At KU Craigieburn, we’re not just about childcare – we’re about creating a place where childhood is celebrated and nurtured. Our purpose-built, 80-place service plays a vital role in the heart of the Hume Council community, offering high-quality education and care to families from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.

We’re passionate about weaving home languages and cultural diversity into everything we do, helping children develop a strong sense of belonging and identity while reflecting the rich, vibrant community around us.

Our natural outdoor learning environment is a true extension of our philosophy, designed to inspire curiosity and exploration. We believe in fostering a deeper connection with nature, encouraging children to learn about sustainability through hands-on experiences that empower them to care for the world around them.
