At ECKA Kindergartens, we are committed to providing accessible and inclusive programs for all children. Our play-based curriculum is designed to support each child’s unique learning journey, with individualised learning plans tailored to help them grow into confident, engaged learners.
Our qualified and professional Teachers and Educators deliver these programs, aligning them with both National and State Curriculum Frameworks, ensuring children are well-prepared to commence their formal schooling journey.
While building the essential foundational skills in literacy and numeracy, our programs also focus on fostering a strong sense of identity and well-being, enabling children to become empowered, effective communicators.
ECKA has 29 kindergarten centres situated within the City of Ballarat and surrounds, including Moorabool, Golden Plains, Hepburn and Pyrenees Shires.

Our commitment lies in providing high-quality education and care that enriches the learning and development of every child. We advocate for children and the early education and care sector, serving as an influential voice for high-quality early years services.
Our Strategic Intent strongly reflects our passion and commitment to create a better future for all children. As a passionate not-for-profit organisation, we value our relationships with our partners, families and communities to enhance the wellbeing, learning and development of each child.
We recognise all children’s capacity and right to succeed regardless of diverse circumstances, cultural background and abilities. I look forward to supporting ECKA’s Board and Staff to implement this exciting plan.
