An old Victorian house has been remodelled and converted into a daycare centre comprising of 5 different child care groups, Kinder, Pre-Kinder, Toddler 1, Toddler 2 and the Nursery. I have had two children in this centre, my oldest boy started there as a Pre-Kinder child and continued on until he graduated Kinder and went off to Prep, my youngest is currently in the Nursery area and although we will be shortly taking him out of the centre due to unseen circumstances, he will be back for the Kinder program when he is old enough. I can honestly say we were blessed to be able to find such a wonderful childcare centre for both of our boys. They have been more than welcoming and comforting when it has been time to leave the children in their care. I'm looking forward to my little one returning to the Kinder program.

Move to a new city, my four year old taken away from her day care centre, now at home with boring mummy all day, and then mummy has another baby. AAARRRGGHH! I quickly realised that my daughter needed at least one day of stimulation per week in a child care setting with kids her own age. Enter the Oak Park Children's Centre...sigh. From the moment I went in to check the place out they made my daughter feel like part of the group, the orientation process was thorough and I was made part of it which was fantastic. Not coming into the centre into half way through August, her teachers still managed to put together a report of her time there, together with a bunch of arts, crafts, writing and other bits and pieces she'd done in her time there. Complete with end of year concert and break up with Santa and presents, I was amazed at the professionalism but happiness and joy I felt everytime I went here. My daughter went to kinder this year at another centre but still speaks of her short time at OPCC. Permanent, long day care places available from just six weeks of age to five years. Kinder program also available in the four to five rooms. Highly recommended.

Friendly and caring staff in a safe and happy environment…read more It's not the newest, nicest or biggest centre, but it's more than acceptable for the kids. 3 rooms indoors for the different ages, and 2 outdoor areas for them to play. Busy road nearby, but the kids are safely jailed behind both doors and fences/gates. Limited parking, so the adjacent street gets a bit busy during peak period.

They also have one of the best gift shops in town for that hard to buy for person. You can enjoy a coffee in their nice cafe too. Kinfolk are a social enterprise cafe where they put back a lot of the profits into great causes. Then there is HUB, a coworking space and home to creative mornings (a worldwide gathering once a month of creatives). They also have a gallery space in the basement for emerging artists. All in all Donkey Wheel is a fantastic old building and showcases some of the best of creative Melbourne. Check out their website for current goings on because it changes quite a lot.

They also offer free counseling. This is something unheard of in the USA -- no wonder people are much happier here in Australia! This is a non-profit center organized by the Uniting Church but you don't have to have any specific religion to take part in the activities and events here. It is located below the YMCA and near the Endeavour Hills library. Yearly fee is only $10 and even cheaper if you are concession (student discount). The only thing I dislike is the office hours are very limited. However, the centre is still open in the evenings for various classes. The woman at the front is extremely helpful, going the extra mile to help me with my questions. Definitely don't take a place like this for granted!
