Kings Meadows

COMING 2026 - Grow with Us

Kings Meadows Early Learning Centre is a child-centred and architecturally designed Long Day Care and Outside School Hours Care centre located in the heart of Kings Meadows, close to schools, sports and amenities.

The innovative design of the Early Learning Centre provides a nurturing environment that encourages connection, curiosity and imagination. The repurposed television station has been creatively reimagined to utilise the historical character of the building, while prioritising safety, fun and comfort, where children can develop essential skills in a supportive setting.

Through promoting a culture of learning and connection, Kings Meadows will not only enhance educational opportunities, but also create a supportive network where individuals and families can thrive. We aim to contribute to a brighter future for all children, encouraging lifelong learning and meaningful relationships within our community.
