What the parents say

What the parents say

I highly recommend this service for all stages of your child's development because of their specialised programs for each stage. It is a lovely, welcoming community.

Jane - Parent

The centre has great outdoor and indoor areas and a very professional and caring team.

Bruce - Parent

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to send Arthur to RMCC. He literally runs to the babies room and throws his arms out for Jing each morning.

He comes home brimming with confidence and buzzing with excitement to tell us about his day (in his own little way).

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

Sparkways see themselves as more than an early learning and care provider. This not-for-profit company works with children and young people facing adversity or isolation to give them a brighter future. 

They support young people through youth mentoring, social enterprise employment programs, and supporting families to be able to access early learning.

For families that enrol with a Sparkways early learning and care centre, their children will be given a great start in life while also helping to improve the lives of other Victorian children.

Health & nutrition

Health & nutrition

At Sparkways Richmond Multicultural Children's Centre, the children are offered nutritious and healthy seasonal meals, including breakfast, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. All food is freshly prepared by the in-house chef, who is also a qualified nutritionist.

All children’s dietary requirements are accounted for, including allergies and intolerances.

The centre’s menus are based on the Australian Dietary Guidelines and meet the recommendations of the Australian Government’s ‘Get Up & Grow: Healthy Eating and Physical Activity for Early Childhood’ guidelines.

The children take part in weekly cooking lessons, and also learn about the value of growing your own produce in the centre’s vegetable garden.

I believe that the greatest asset a parent can possess is a teacher who loves and believes in their child.

Best kinder ever! My son went from “ I don’t wanna go to sch” everyday, to “ can I go to sch on Sunday too?” Great staff with lots of patience and love. My son adores the educators there and he enjoys going to kinder everyday. Best decision ever!

Response from the owner 25 Aug 2025

Thank you so much, Crystal, for sharing this wonderful feedback. It’s heart-warming to hear about your son’s journey from not wanting to go, to being so excited he wishes school was on Sundays too! Our educators are thrilled to know their patience and care have made such a difference. We’re delighted that Sparkways has been such a positive part of your family’s life and we’re honored you feel it’s the best decision ever.
