Childcare in Ballarat
Five centres across Ballarat. Part of this community, not just in it.
With five centres across Ballarat — from Alfredton to Soldiers Hill, Delacombe to Winter Valley — Jenny's ELC has been part of Ballarat since 2022, when we opened The Arch in Alfredton. We're part of Ballarat's community fabric, sponsoring local sport, supporting local families, and employing local educators who care deeply about this city.
Ballarat families have a strong sense of community, and they choose childcare providers who share that. Jenny's ELC is Australian family owned and operated, which means the people making decisions about your child's education are the same people who care about Ballarat's future. Our five centres are spread across the city's growth areas, making quality early learning accessible wherever you live.
