The centre has been in operation since 1975. It is situated in a converted heritage listed building owned by the City of Port Phillip and is run by a committee of volunteer parents. These parents dedicate their time and energy into the decision making and running of The Avenue. Committed to quality childcare for more than 35 years, The Avenue is a ‘home away from home’ – a safe and nurturing environment aimed at meeting the needs of you and your child.
