Welcome to Choklits Child Care & Kindergarten Surrey Hills!
Parents and families are always welcome to visit Choklits Child Care. Our 'open-door' policy encourages parents to visit our ELC to discuss their child's progress at any time. Our main objective is to 'spark the fire' for lifelong learning and help children ready to excel at school.
The benefits of a supportive relationship between home and any ELC cannot be over-emphasised, as children develop confidence and a healthy understanding of themselves and others in a social context, which respects and recognises individual differences.
Come inside and hear the laughter and song. See the children busy at work, smell the home-cooked lunch and meander the endless playground. Hear young voices cooperating and planning, discussing and sharing, while the birds chirp endlessly all day long.
Music and movement are an integral part of each room's program on a daily basis. This enormous outdoor playground invites young people to explore and investigate in a variety of spaces for socialisation, while the indoors provide ever changing worlds of interactive learning for a child's eye view of the world. The children enjoy the sandpit, water play areas, climbing equipment, vegetable garden, slides and ball games.
Choklits is located within walking distance of Surrey Park, Surrey Hills Primary School and Our Lady’s Primary School.
Please contact us to organise a Tour of the Centre today!

Here’s what an approved menu means for you and your child: • You can trust the standards; our menu is checked against recognised healthy eating guidelines, so meals and snacks are planned with children’s nutrition in mind. • Balanced food across the day; children are offered a mix of the main food groups, with child-sized portions that support steady energy and healthy growth. • Food that supports learning and wellbeing; nutritious meals help children feel well, stay active, and focus during play, routines, and learning experiences. • Clear planning and transparency; an approved menu means there is careful planning behind each meal. Families can feel reassured about what is served and why.
Here’s what intergenerational learning means for your child; • A stronger sense of belonging; children build connections beyond the centre and feel part of a wider community, including regular visits to Aged Care campuses. • Language and communication growth; conversations, storytelling, and shared activities support listening, speaking, and confidence. • Social and emotional learning; children practise kindness, empathy, patience, and respect while learning with others. • Real-world learning through shared experiences; cooking, gardening, art, music, and simple projects help children learn in practical, memorable ways.
This centre is a children’s wonderland...beautiful toys, bright colours, big-hearted carers and a menu filled with culinary delights for little ones.
Charmaine, parent
It is state-of-the-art childcare.
Romala, parent
We love the fact that it is a family owned facility, run by really wonderful people who take a lot of pride in providing the most amazing and wonderful environment for the children in their care.
Lucy, parent
At Choklits Surrey Hills, the rooms are divided up according to the ages of the children. There is plenty of space to let their creativity blossom. Being a brand new centre, all of the facilities are new and the outdoor space is full of the latest play equipment.
Lemon room: 6 weeks to 2 years
Apple room: 2 to 3 years
Orange room: 3 to 4 years
Strawberry room: 4 years +
Our aim is to see your child grow from dependence to independence and develop an active, positive and constructive approach to life.
The social skills your child develop will leave him/her in good stead when it comes time to start school.
We will provide practical support, assistance and information to parents on childhood development and aim to build mutual trust between all children and between children and staff.
Sue Brewer, Choklits Child Care
We develop in children a sense of their own personal uniqueness and respect for others, and ensure they enjoy access to a wide range of creative expression, and more importantly, have fun.
Jade Ingleby, Choklits Child Care
Our goal at Choklits is to see each child develop a spirit of independence appropriate to their age and capabilities, have a curiosity about life, have a high self-esteem and be able to initiate their own learning.
Matt Reynolds, Choklits Child Care
At Choklits Surrey Hills, the focus is on providing high quality meals to the children. Children at the centre are provided with all of their meals and snacks each day from the centre chef, with all dietary needs catered for.
Meal times are a social occasion, and the educators provide a calm relaxed space for the children to enjoy eating together.
The centre chef provides toast, cereal, pancakes and porridge for breakfast; pasta, soup, stir-fry and casseroles for lunch; fruit and veggie platters, cheese, crackers and dip, raisin toast, sandwiches and mini pizzas for snacks.
Morning
Hudson is eight months old and loves his days at Choklits Surrey Hills. His favourite educator puts Hudson in the pram with two other babies to go for a walk around the neighbourhood. They wave at the shopkeepers and point out all the interesting things they can see.
Lunch
Hudson is ready to settle down for a nap after having a healthy lunch. The educators prepare his bottle, read him a story, and get him all tucked in for a rest.
Afternoon
The nursery children are outside to play in the afternoon. Hudson is in the sandpit, digging, building and enjoying the sensory experience of sand play. Educators are close by to offer a hand if it’s needed.
Morning
Lily is 23 months old and arrives ready for action. The toddlers have their art easels set up today, and are having a great time painting their families. Don’t forget to add your pet dog, Lily!
Lunch
The outdoor area is popular with the toddlers, and Lily has made a run for the cubby house and slide with her friend Josh. They like to play together and take turns going down the slide.
Afternoon
Now Lily joins the children on the bike track, who are riding the bikes and scooters. Lily chooses a pink scooter and whizzes around the track with the others.
Morning
Isaac is three and a half and is excited about today’s music lesson. He grabs a triangle and the educator shows the children how to create patterns with music. Next he tries a tambourine out, and loves the sound it makes when he gives it a shake.
Lunch
Isaac is chosen by the chef to help pick some basil from the herb garden so that the chef can use it in her pesto for lunch. The children sit together and share their meal as a group. Isaac is proud that he was able to help with the pesto. The spaghetti tastes even better today, he thinks!
Afternoon
The children love their dance lessons with their educator. For Isaac, it’s a chance to shake, bop and twist around to the fun music. He gets to choose one of the songs and does some funny dance moves that make the other children giggle.

Staffs are loving and caring, have different activities for the week and my little one loves the food here. Flexible arrangement for parents that easy to book in extra session or swapping days for special arrangement.
Joelle Martin
My little one has been at Choklits Surrey Hills from 18 months old to 4.5 years old. The staff are all lovely and super caring. Chef Lai makes sure the children eat nutritious food and there is good incursions. Thanks Choklits
