Where Nature Meets Nurture!
At Acorn Acres, nestled in the heart of Moe, VIC, we believe every child deserves a vibrant, nurturing environment where they can grow, explore, and thrive.
Our centre is more than just a place for early childhood education; it’s a community where children’s curiosity is celebrated, and their potential is unlocked.
At Acorn Acres, we dream of a world where every child blooms—nurtured by nature, sparked by curiosity and rooted in strong community bonds. We’re all about encouraging creativity and celebrating individuality, planting the seeds for a lifetime of learning and happiness.
At Acorn Acres, our mission is simple: to create a warm, welcoming space where children can thrive. With the Early Years Learning Framework as our guide, we dive into nature play, explore emerging interests, and make learning fun through play-based activities. By teaming up with families and our community, we build a nurturing environment that values friendships across all ages, helping children grow into confident, caring, and capable individuals.
At Acorn Acres, we’ve created an environment where every facility is thoughtfully designed to enhance learning and foster growth. Our facilities are designed specifically to nurture your child, in keeping with our philosophy of the environment as the third educator. Every part of our indoor and outdoor areas is designed to create calming yet engaging spaces for your child to thrive.
Our outdoor spaces blend natural beauty with interactive play. Children explore, discover, and connect with the environment through hands-on activities like gardening, nature trails, and sensory play zones.
Safety is paramount. Our centre features secure entry points, child-safe furnishings, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Comfort and security are ensured so children can focus on learning and play.
Specialized areas are designed for hands-on learning, including art studios, science exploration centres, and dramatic play spaces. These zones are crafted to support various learning styles and encourage creative expression.
We believe healthy eating habits are instilled at a young age, which guides our approach to nutrition. To ensure your child has the energy they need to fulfil their potential, we provide a nutritious homemade menu created by our in-house chefs.
What Parents Say About Us
My name is Than, and I am a proud mother of two wonderful boys, aged 17 and 21. Alongside me on this journey is my incredible husband—my biggest supporter—who has stood by me every step of the way as I turned my lifelong dream into reality.
With over 15 years of experience in the early childhood industry, working in a variety of roles, I have always been passionate about the importance of early learning and care. Opening my own childcare centre has been a dream close to my heart for many years. Today, I am proud to say that dream has come true—right here in the heart of Moe.
Our centre is more than just a childcare facility; it is a community-focused space where relationships matter. We are committed to building strong, genuine partnerships within the Moe community. Our vision is to create a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to grow.
I truly believe that we offer an excellent service—one that not only cares for and educates the younger generation of Moe and its surrounding areas, but also strengthens the fabric of our community. This is a place where families feel connected, where children are celebrated, and where we work hand in hand with the community to build a brighter future.
