About Bendigo South

Journey Early Learning Bendigo South is a warm and welcoming centre that caters for up to 96 children between the ages of six weeks and six years old. With a long-standing team of inclusive and adventurous educators, Bendigo South has strong ties and connections within the local community.

Our environment has been designed to promote child-led play and learning in both our indoor and outdoor environments. Our large, centrally located kitchen is the perfect place for celebrations, shared meals and interactions with families and children as they enter and leave the centre. 

Our Centre Manager, Briony has experience across all roles within the sector and her approach to early learning stems from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. According to Maslow, we have five categories of needs: Physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualisation.

We are proud to be a tight-knit centre, with most of our families engaging in the frequent social activities that we organise to promote connection.
