"Victorian families will have access to a range of children’s services in nine convenient locations thanks to a $4.5 million in Brumby Government grants to help establish children’s centres across the state. Children and Early Childhood Minister Maxine Morand announced the locations for nine new children’s centres to be built at St Kilda Child Care Centre. Ms Morand said the nine children’s centres will provide a range of services including long day care, kindergarten, occasional care, allied health services, maternal and child health, early childhood intervention services, playgroups, toy libraries, playgroups, parent education and family support services. “Integrated facilities provide a diverse range of services that are very important in supporting the healthy development of children and making access to those services more convenient for families,’’ she said."
