WELCOME TO
MAFFRA
Our Maffra centre is truly a hidden gem. Tucked away on Powerscourt, it offers an Australian paradise for early childhood education. With expansive open spaces, beautifully maintained yards and even centre pets, we foster curiosity, spark young imaginations and encourage independence.
Each learning space is filled with natural light and thoughtfully designed to support children to learn, grow and develop — all while giving them room to breathe. As a 104-place centre, we offer six classrooms catering for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, each supported by a dedicated team of qualified educators.
Our educators engage children in rich, play-based learning through simultaneous indoor and outdoor experiences. With fully stocked resources, including both new and recycled materials, we build on every child’s ideas and interests, creating a welcoming environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging.
Our curriculum is guided by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework across our kindergarten and long day care programs.
