Came in expecting a little, received a lot from Jenny’s from the block (at the hospital). Very grateful to the village of educators who know and value our daughter.

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of this incredible team.<br><br>I enrolled my daughter in September (2025) last year when she was just 5 months old. As a first-time mum putting my little girl into childcare, I was incredibly anxious and emotional about the whole experience. From the moment we walked through the doors, the team made us feel so welcome, comfortable and supported. The transition was so much easier than I ever could have imagined, and I truly had no troubles settling her in..<br><br>Now, almost a year later, my daughter gets so excited to see her educators. Watching the beautiful bonds she has formed with them is something that means so much to me as a mum. Knowing she is surrounded by people who genuinely care for her, nurture her and make her feel safe is priceless.They are so much more than educators. They have become a part of our village.<br><br>I have absolutely loved how much she is learning and developing. She comes home learning new things all the time, and we see it shine through at home. Whether it’s suddenly singing new songs, doing the actions along with them, or coming out with new words, it’s so lovely to see. I truly believe she has benefited so much from being surrounded by other children, learning, playing and growing together. It’s incredible to see how much confidence and knowledge she has gained<br><br>I couldn’t recommend this centre highly enough!

This is Jenny Jenny’s; not microwave Jenny’s. Facilities are good; programs are good; and the educators are amazing. The vibe is really good.

About Jenny's ELC Bendigo Hospital

Located within the grounds of Bendigo Health, on the corner of Lucan and Arnold Streets, Jenny’s Early Learning Centre Bendigo Hospital is the charming heritage-listed Yarrington House. Blending harmoniously with the new, state of the art renovations in the rear, our Bendigo Hospital location is surrounded by 100-year-old deciduous trees and open grassland, which we try to incorporate into our programs at every opportunity.

Jenny’s ELC Bendigo Hospital hosts five rooms, two outdoor yards and a magnificent deck, overlooking the outdoor play spaces which feature soil, sand and running water. Fruit trees, vegetable gardens and sensory gardens are woven into the landscape and tended to by the children and educators, giving children a creative, sensory learning experience.

Our curriculum is spontaneous, emergent, and reflects the interests and developmental levels of the children. Incorporating programs that promote sustainability, literacy, numeracy and creative arts, the centre offers excursions, incursions, special family days and dress up days that support children’s interests and concurrently develop relationships with the local community.

Integral to our centre is our Kindergarten program, typically operating 7.5 hours each day. The program is run by a university qualified Kindergarten teacher and incorporates an extensive transition to school program, developed in conjunction with the Early Years Coordinators of surrounding schools. The program includes visits to schools, as well as visits to the centre by the school’s Prep teachers.

Jenny’s ELC Bendigo Hospital also offers a Pre-Kindergarten program managed by a university qualified teacher. Children can explore the resources of the centre, developing and extending their skills in a play-based environment, which will support a confident and smooth transition to the Kindergarten Room.

An extensive orientation and transition process gives families, educators and children the opportunity to evaluate the best placing for each child.

We welcome new families at any time to call in and have a look at our centre and the high quality programs we deliver.
