Welcome to

Acacia Ave Preschool, Mentone

At Acacia Avenue Preschool, we’ve created a warm and welcoming environment where children feel confident to explore, discover, and grow.

Creative, Sustainably Designed Outdoor Play Space

Our light-filled indoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to inspire creativity, curiosity, and connection. With inviting learning areas, engaging materials, and cosy corners for quiet time, children are supported to learn through play in ways that suit their individual style.

Outdoors, our spacious natural playground is a place for adventure—where children climb, dig, imagine, and connect with the world around them. It’s a space that encourages active play, resilience, and a deep love of nature.

A warm and playful introduction to early learning. Children explore, socialise, and grow through hands-on, play-based experiences—building confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

Encouraging and Nurturing

Led by a team of passionate educators, our three- and four-year-old kindergarten programs nurture each child’s strengths and interests.

We also offer a vibrant Music Program and strong connections to local schools, helping every child feel ready and excited for the next step.
