Early Learning Victoria Murrum

We built an early learning and childcare centre at Murrum Primary School.

The Victorian Government-owned centre is run by Early Learning Victoria. It provides long day care and Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs with space for up to 130 local children each day.

The centre has outdoor play areas, a maternal and child health consulting room, and a carpark. It also has a community room for meetings and playgroup.

Building the centre at the school will help some parents avoid the double drop-off. It makes childcare and early learning accessible and convenient for working parents and carers. It can also make the transition to school easier for some children.

Visit the Early Learning Victoria website for more information about the government-operated centres.

The centre's name

Early Learning Victoria Murrum (pronounced moor-room) was chosen as the name. Murrum is a Woi-wurrung word meaning ‘joeys’ and was provided by the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation.

This centre was previously known as Early Learning Victoria Toolern Waters (interim name).
